Long lost baby, look at that lonely tree
Standing out there all alone
Looking just like me
Them branches have gone drooping
Hanging all those leaves
There is no warmth in the sunshine
That the tree receives
That tree is all alone
In a field that's overgrown
With grass and bugs
And weeds and slugs
But not another tree
No, not another tree
Long lost baby, look at that lonely tree
Standing there the way I did
When you ran away from me
The weeds and grass around that tree
Don't pay the ground no rent
The sky's free too and if birds would come
They'd be heaven sent
That tree is all alone
In a field that's overgrown
With grass and bugs
And weeds and slugs
But not another tree
No, not another tree
Long lost baby, look at that lonely tree
Without a single sapling it can call a family
You left me standing like that tree
On our wedding day
I'm standing here still wondering
Why you ran away
That tree is all alone
In a field that's overgrown
With grass and bugs
And weeds and slugs
But not another tree
No, not another tree
