The Lyrics
My sympathy to those whose suffered serious damages; mine were relatively slight
Oh, say, could you see, in the morn, noon and night,
That so stoutly had grown, in my backyard, a Red Oak.
Whose green leaves and strong limbs, stretched up to a great height,
O'er the roof it had reached, so in sunlight it could soak.
And the tons of raked leaves, acorns by the bushel,
Gave proof through the years that this tree was quite well.
So why was hurricane Irene able to bring it all down,
On the wires and the poles that brought the power to my town?
That so stoutly had grown, in my backyard, a Red Oak.
Whose green leaves and strong limbs, stretched up to a great height,
O'er the roof it had reached, so in sunlight it could soak.
And the tons of raked leaves, acorns by the bushel,
Gave proof through the years that this tree was quite well.
So why was hurricane Irene able to bring it all down,
On the wires and the poles that brought the power to my town?
