Lyrics

The dogs are 'round the tree They've got him up a tree He knows he's up a tree The dogs are showin' teeth They know he must come down They know that they can wait He knows they can wait He sees their shiny teeth He crys "Lord, help me!" "Can't you see I'm up a tree!" The Lord knows he's up a tree He watched him climb the tree He knows he's up a tree He knows he must come down He crys "Lord, help me!" "Can't you see I'm up a tree!" The Lord knows he's up a tree He saw him climb the tree He knows he's up a tree He knows he must come down They're circlin 'round the tree They've got him up a tree He knows he's up a tree Someday he must come down The dogs know they can wait He knows they can wait The dogs are showin' teeth He sees their shiny teeth He crys "Lord, help me!" "Can't you see I'm up a tree!" The Lord knows he's up a tree He watched him climb the tree He knows he's up a tree He knows he must come down
