Little Nut Tree Songtext

von The Melodians

I have a little nut tree
Nothing would it bear for me
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear alone, alone

One lonely night in June
When my tree began to bloom
I saw in front of me
A girl just like the queen of May

To my surprise, she was to be
What God wanted her to be
She was to be my lover, you see
So that's how it will be

I've got to thank heaven
For the gift He sent for me
He sent for me someone to love
And oh, my little nut tree

To my surprise, she was to be
What God wanted her to be
She was to be my lover, you see
So that's how it will be

I have a little nut tree
Nothing would it bear for me
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear alone, alone, alone
