dorsey burnette - (there was a) tall oak tree

There was a tall oak tree
That loved a babblin brook,
And the babblin brook
Loved the mountain  ❚❚► ,
And the mountain high
Loved the sky above.
The Creator looked  ❚❚► 
And saw everything was love, love, love.
No, he took a bone
And a piece of mud --
He  ❚❚►  a man and a woman
To be flesh and blood.
And then  ❚❚►  came the devil
Up out of the ground --
He tempted the woman,
And that spread sin all  ❚❚► , all round, all round.
Now, if she?d left that apple
On that apple  ❚❚► ,
There?d be no tears or sorrow,
We?d live eternally.
And then along came Man
And  ❚❚►  the oak tree down
And now the babblin brook
Is solid ground.
And now the mountain high
Don't  ❚❚►  so high,
And there's a cloud of smoke
That covers up the  ❚❚►  blue sky.
There was a tall oak tree,
There was a tall oak tree,
There was a tall oak tree.
