All in the wood (all in the wood)
The prettiest little tree (the prettiest little tree)
That you ever did see (that you ever did see)
Oh, the limb on the tree

And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around
Now, on that limb (now, on that limb)

The prettiest little nest (the prettiest little nest)
That you ever did see (that you ever did see)

The green grass grows all around
Now, in that nest (now, in that nest)
There were some eggs (there were some eggs)
The prettiest little eggs (the prettiest little eggs)
That you ever did see (that you ever did see)

And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around
Now, in those eggs (now, in those eggs)
There were some birds (there were some birds)
The prettiest little birds (the prettiest little birds)
That you ever did see (that you ever did see)
Oh, the birds in the eggs
And the eggs in the nest
And the nest on the limb
