Lyrics

I'M GONNA CUT DOWN THIS TREE
THAT'S WHAT I'M AIMIN' TO DO
IT'S BEEN STANDING HERE WAY TOO LONG
IT'S BEEN A-BLOCKIN' THE VIEW
I DON'T KNOW WHY
NOBODY'S DONE IT BEFORE
GONNA CUT DOWN THIS TREE
AND THEN I'LL CRY SOME MORE.

I STILL REMEMBER
WHEN YOU WENT AWAY
THAT COLD, GRAY DECEMBER
I CAN STILL HEAR YOU SAY
YOU NEVER LOVED ME
IT WAS JUST SOME MISTAKE
SWEET LORD ABOVE ME
PLEASE TELL ME WHY
MUST MY HEART BREAK-------?
NOW I'M CRY-------IN'
AND I'M FEELIN' SO SAD
PLEASE TELL ME WHY
MUST MY HEART BREAK?
WHY MUST THERE BE ALL THIS HEART-ACHE?
I'M GONNA CUT DOWN THIS TREE.

-------instrumental-----------

I DON'T KNOW WHY
THEY SAY GROWN MEN DON'T CRY
I COULD HAVE SWORN
IT WAS THE FIRST THING I LEARNED
WHEN I WAS BORN------------
NOW I'M DIE-------IN'
AND I'M FEELIN' SO SAD
PLEASE TELL ME WHY
WITH ALL THIS PAIN
WHY CAN'T WE SEE-------?

-------instrumental---------

I'M GONNA CUT DOWN THIS TREE
IT'S WHAT I'M FIXIN' TO DO
IT'S BEEN STANDING HERE WAY TOO LONG
IT'S BEEN A-BLOCKIN' THE VIEW
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
NOBODY'S DONE IT BEFORE
I GONNA CUT DOWN THIS TREE
AND THEN I'LL CRY-----------------------
