Title: It Was Sad

Oh, there grew a tree gigantic
To shade the Bayer's yard
For they thought it was a tree
That no fungus would regard
It was on its third decade
That it met the fatal blade
It was sad when the great tree went down

Great Tree

It was sad, it was sad
It was sad when that great tree went down
Branches and leaves, bits of bark with disease
It was sad when that great tree went down

When that tree was young
It was happy and high strung
The Bayers played 'neath its ample shade
Until Jacob's Second Grade
Max rode his little scooter
Lucie asked, "What could be cuter?"
It was sad when the great tree went down

It was sad, it was sad
It was sad when that great tree went down
Branches and leaves, bits of bark with disease
It was sad when the great tree went down

Oh the arborist cast a pall
As the tree began to fall
But she said "We'll plant another, tall"
So she promised one and all
For Nature has it way
As we have learned today
It was sad when that great tree went down

It was sad, it was sad
It was sad when that great tree went down
Branches and leaves, bits of bark with disease
It was sad when the great tree went down
Telling you the grounds look grim
