The Learning Tree

O.C. Smith

O.C. Smith At Home, 1969, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Where grows the learning tree
By rivers that flow in the night
Winds that blow after sundown
That's what a boy should know
Fireflies and restless thoughts
And tall fields of corn
Where all June bugs are born in the due time
That's where a boy should grow
Broad skies 'round us pass
Clouds puffed white as snow
With two dogs by his side
And a nice girl to know
Out where the sparrow flies
Where bluebirds can sing overhead
In the spring after moondown
There grows the learning tree
