The Almond Tree

Temperance the dear old deer Did not dare to bother anyone's ear With her uptight jaw and hair tightly pinned Who'd have thought the sin to be within? Bury me under the almond tree If anything should happen to me Late last june I heard a cry I ran to see my younger sister die The poisoned meat had cut deep inside I cast my revenge on temperance tonight Bury me under the almond tree If anything should happen to me Bury me under the almond tree If anything should happen to me I walked for months through the rain and pour No sign of temperance and her deathly paw I start to think did I dream it all up What revenge is this, its my life now that's been caught Bury me under the almond tree If anything should happen to me Bury me under the almond tree If anything should happen to me
