Lyrics to 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
