I Had a Little Nut Tree
I had a little nut tree
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear
The King of Spain's daughter
Came to visit me
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree
Her dress was made of crimson
Jet black was her hair
She asked me for my nutmeg
And my golden pear
I said, "So fair a princess
Never did I see
I'll give you all the fruit
From my little nut tree"
I danced over the water
I danced over the sea
And all the birds in the air
Couldn't catch me
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear
The King of Spain's daughter
Came to visit me
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree
Her dress was made of crimson
Jet black was her hair
She asked me for my nutmeg
And my golden pear
I said, "So fair a princess
Never did I see
I'll give you all the fruit
From my little nut tree"
I danced over the water
I danced over the sea
And all the birds in the air
Couldn't catch me
