Cinnamon Tree Lyrics by Marty O’Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra

Pray For Rain

0

You've got to set me up a swing beneath that cinnamon tree
Give me half a breeze just to push the scent
Gotta fetch me up a telescope
Fifteen yards of sturdy rope
And I'll tell you where that puppy dog has went
Now I bet she's at the railroad, and she's hopping cars
Bet she's board a great ship and she's lost at sea
She'll come riding back again, soon as she smells that cinnamon
And I bury her sweet bones beneath that tree
She was my three-legged dog
She was a three-legged dog
She was a three-legged dog
And I'll bury her bones, out beneath that old cinnamon tree
Yeah, I'll bury her bones, out beneath that old cinnamon tree
Her mama seems to think she's gone for some kind of good
Papa says she's six feet underground
And I know she's alright, when I hear her howling in the moonlight
And that's a wild and lovely sound
It's not the body of the beast that holds her spirit
It's her spirited self which I adore
And it's her love, and it's her name and not the confines of her frame
That makes me love her, love her so much more
She was my three-legged dog
She was a three-legged dog
She was a three-legged dog
And I'll bury her bones, out beneath that old cinnamon tree
Yeah, I'll bury her bones, out beneath that old cinnamon tree
