This old man I've talked about Broke his own heart, Poured it in the ground Big red tree grew up and out, Throws up its leaves, Spins round and round. I know all this and more So take your hat off When you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree This little squirrel I used to be Slammed her bike down the stairs They put silver where her teeth had been Baby silvertooth, she grins and grins I know all this and more So take your hat off boy When you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree Take your hat off boy When you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree This old man I used to be Spins around, around, around the tree Silver baby come to me I'll only hurt you in my dreams I know all this and I know all this and I know all this and more So take your hat off boy When you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree Take your hat off When you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree
