The Lyrics

From the Web: O Christmas Tree is a traditional German Carol [O Tannenbaum]. The author of the lyrics are unknown as is the composer of the lyrics. The tradition of bringing a tree inside and decorating it with candy, baubles and bells was started in the nineteenth century and is immortalized in the carol O Christmas Tree lyrics.
Ow, Tannin' Balm!

Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
My skin color is changing.
Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
My skin color is changing.
It's redder than some states this year.
I'm blue, so I have had a beer.
Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
My skin color is changing.

Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
Much relief wilst thou give me.
Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
Much relief wilst thou give me.
Methinks my burns be third degree,
But thou hast aloe verily.
Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
Much relief wilst thou give me.

Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
My charred skin shineth brightly.
Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
My charred skin shineth brightly.
From base to summit, I was white,
But now I look like a red light.
Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
My charred skin shineth brightly.

Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
The emollient bedecks me.
Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
The emollient bedecks me.
A bigger tube will need to be
Purchased to cover all of me
Ow, tannin' balm, ow, tannin' balm!
The sun's rays have rednecked me.
