Well I once heard a story
Of a giving tree
Gave all he could give
So his child could be free
Branches for a home
An apples for gold
Asks for nothing in return
At least that is what I'm told
The old oak don't give apples
But he gives a damn
When things ain't going
Exactly as you planned
His roots are bury deep
Inside the ground
In a nice spot in Virginia
Where you don't hear a sound
Oh, What will we do
When that old oak falls
Will my children use its wood
To build stable walls
Will the branches be tinder
When I relight the flame
As I recall the time
We spent under the shade
The oak stands strong
Yet sometimes he grieves
When thinking bout the hard times
And bullets through his leaves
A blast shook the oak
From his quiet place
Sent him reaching up
Into time and space
He was replanted
In the same spot in o' four
With his roots badly damaged
Not quite the same as before
They never managed
To cut down his size
He's still standing tall
Reaching for the sky
Oh, What will we do
When that old oak falls
Will my children use its wood
To build stable walls
Will the branches be tinder
When I relight the flame
An I recall the time
We spent under the shade
Oh, What will we do
When that old oak falls
Will my children use its wood
To build stable walls
Will the branches be tinder
When I relight the flame
An I recall the time
We spent under the shade
Oh we spent under the shade
Oh we spent under the shade
