Little Nut Tree

I have a little nut tree Nothing would it bear for me But a silver nutmeg And a golden pear alone, alone One lonely night in June When my tree began to bloom I saw in front of me A girl just like the queen of May To my surprise, she was to be What God wanted her to be She was to be my lover, you see So that's how it will be I've got to thank heaven For the gift He sent for me He sent for me someone to love And oh, my little nut tree To my surprise, she was to be What God wanted her to be She was to be my lover, you see So that's how it will be I have a little nut tree Nothing would it bear for me But a silver nutmeg And a golden pear alone, alone, alone
