Boy and his dog Went out looking for the rainbow You know what did they learn Since that very day Walking by the river And running like a blue streak Through the fields of streams and meadows Laughing all the way Oh redwood tree Please let us under When we were young we used to go Under the redwood tree And it smells like rain Maybe even thunder Won't you keep us from all harm Wonderful redwood tree And a boy and his father Went out, went out looking for the lost dog You know what oh haven't they learned Since they did that together They did not bring him back He already had departed But look at everything they have learned Since that, since that very day Oh redwood tree Please let us under When we were young we used to go Under the redwood tree And it smells like rain Maybe even thunder Won't you keep us from all harm Wonderful redwood tree
