Cottonwood Tree Track

Cottonwood Tree (Larry W. Jones 11/29/2006) (song#4189)
Why is this trail so sad and lonely
The tale is of a faded love
One that will never come again
Under moon and stars above
|
Oh, bury me ‘neath the cottonwood
Under the cottonwood tree
For she must not have understood
How much she meant to me
|
I heard her say that she loved me
How could I see her words untrue
The cottonwood tree has whispered
Her false love wasn’t meant for you
|
Oh, bury me ‘neath the cottonwood
Under the cottonwood tree
For she must not have understood
How much she meant to me
|
Tomorrow was our marriage day
On what lost trail could she be
Her carriage has gone another way
She’s withdrawn her love from me
|
Oh, bury me ‘neath the cottonwood
Under the cottonwood tree
For she must not have understood
How much she meant to me
|
Oh, bury me ‘neath the cottonwood tree
