1
O say goodbye to the little girl tree.
2
O you know that I must say goodbye
3
To the little girl tree.
4
This wall I built around you
5
Is made out of stone-lies.
6
O little girl the truth would be
7
An axe in thee.
8
O father look to your daughter
9
Brick of grief and stricken morter.
10
With this ring
11
This silver hoop of wire
12
I bind your maiden mainstream
13
Just to keep you as a child.
14
O say goodbye to the little girl tree.
15
O you know that I must say goodbye
16
To my little girl tree.
17
How fast your candy bones
18
Reached out for me.
19
I must say goodbye to your brittle bones
20
Crying out for me.
21
O you know that I must say goodbye.
22
O goodbye.
23
Even though you will betray me
24
The very minute that I leave.
25
O say goodbye to the little girl tree.
26
O Lord you know that I must say goodbye
27
To that little girl tree.
28
I rise up her girl-child lumps and slipping knots
29
Into her laden boughs
30
And amongst her roping limbs
31
Like a swollen neck vein branching
32
Into smaller lesser veins
33
That must all just sing and say goodbye
34
And let her blossom veils fly.
35
Her velvet gown.
36
Down down down.
37
Down down down.
38
Down down down and goodbye.
39
For you know that I must say goodbye.
40
To a rhythm softly tortured
41
Of a motion back and forth.
42
That's a rhythm sweetly tortured
43
O that's the rhythm of the orchard.
44
And you know that I must say goodbye
45
To that little girl tree.
46
O goodbye.
47
Yes goodbye.
48
For you know that I must die.
49
Down down down.
50
Down down down.
51
Down down down and goodbye.
52
For you know that I must die.
53
Yes you know that I must die.
54
O-o you know that I must die.
