Brother
Brother
Climbed trees when he was young
Never thought he'd fall, but he did
Oh, he died when he was still a kid
Mother
Cut down that awful pine
Never told her that I loved
That tree 'cause so did he
Black bird
Would sing and sing all day
Stood up on our roof so quiet
Oh, she stayed up there all night
Father
Had hopes for that dear boy
Never let him out of his sight
But yeah, he saw him fall, that's right
Lover
Held me when I first broke
Arms around me as I woke
With tears enough to choke
Brother
Climbed trees when he was young
Never thought he'd fall, but he did
Oh, he died when he was still a kid
Climbed trees when he was young
Never thought he'd fall, but he did
Oh, he died when he was still a kid
Mother
Cut down that awful pine
Never told her that I loved
That tree 'cause so did he
Black bird
Would sing and sing all day
Stood up on our roof so quiet
Oh, she stayed up there all night
Father
Had hopes for that dear boy
Never let him out of his sight
But yeah, he saw him fall, that's right
Lover
Held me when I first broke
Arms around me as I woke
With tears enough to choke
Brother
Climbed trees when he was young
Never thought he'd fall, but he did
Oh, he died when he was still a kid
