Burl Ives - Girl Sittin’ Up In A Tree lyrics

On my way the other day a
Strange thing happened to me
I blinked my eye and what did I spy
But a girl sitting up in a tree

I said come on down cause now you're found
There's no one around and it's
Nice on the ground

She said I like it up here
Cause the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and
Nothing to hear except
Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing
Clouds caressing
Branches clinging to me-ee-ee

I said come on down out of that tree

Leaves made lace around her face
Peeking down at me
I wondered why she'd climb so high right
Up in the top of that tree

I said come on down cause now you're found
And there's no one around and
It's nice on the ground

She said I like it up here
Cause the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and
Nothing to hear except
Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing
Clouds caressing
Branches clinging to me-ee-ee

I said come on down out of that tree

Darkness fell I fell as well when I
Heard her sweet call to me
Right then I knew what I had to do
I started climbing up in that tree

And now I found I don't want to get down
I don't miss the ground while she's around

We're way up here where the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and
Nothing to hear except
Crickets calling breeze hushing
Stars blinking
Moon wakin' nightingale singing and we-ee-ee

Have a heaven up in this
Treehouse in this tree
