The Green Grass Still Grows

"There was a tree
In the middle of the ground 
The prettiest tree 
That you ever did see. 

Oh the tree in a hole, 
And the hole in the ground 
and the green grass grows all around all around 
and the green grass grows all around.

And from this tree, 
there grew a limb
the prettiest limb 
that you ever did see. 

Oh the limb on the tree, 
and the tree in a hole. 
and the hole in the ground, 
and the green grass grows all around, all around
and the green grass grows all around." 


And on that limb there was a branch. The prettiest branch that you ever did see. 


But this children's song skipped an important part.

[Extended Version] 
And on that  branch,

 there grew a  leaf. 

the prettiest leaf

that you ver did see. 

But winter came, 

and those pretty leaves and pretty branches fell off. 

So that pretty tree stood alone.  

But the green grass still grew all around, all around

The green grass still grows all around.
