Up a Tree

The dogs are 'round the tree
 They've got him up a tree
 He knows he's up a tree
 The dogs are showin' teeth
 They know he must come down
 They know that they can wait
 He knows they can wait
 He sees their shiny teeth
 He crys "Lord, help me!"
 "Can't you see I'm up a tree!"
 The Lord knows he's up a tree
 He watched him climb the tree
 He knows he's up a tree,
 He knows he must come down.
 He crys "Lord, help me!"
 "Can't you see I'm up a tree!"
 The Lord knows he's up a tree
 He saw him climb the tree
 He knows he's up a tree,
 He knows he must come down.
 They're circlin 'round the tree
 They've got him up a tree
 He knows he's up a tree
 Someday he must come down
 The dogs know they can wait
 He knows they can wait
 The dogs are showin' teeth
 He sees their shiny teeth
 He crys "Lord, help me!"
 "Can't you see I'm up a tree!"
 The Lord knows he's up a tree
 He watched him climb the tree
 He knows he's up a tree,
 He knows he must come down.
