lyrics

The Woodpecker said to The Maple:
"You're sweeter than any I've seen"
But he left her be-holed and be-lonelied
And said he was tired of that tree

La da dy (etc)

His wife in her branches was nestled
The kids having all flown away
So they packed up their things and departed,
And she cried sugar tears that day

La da dy (etc)

You can find rocks that lie in a circle
But you're better off putting them there
And you shouldn't go blaming The Maple
For it isn't her fault that she cared

La da dy (etc)
