Lyrics: Acorn in the meadow, Meadow filled with sun Sun is shining warm on the meadow Tree begun Baby in the cradle, Cradle filled with love Mama smiling warm on the cradle from above Someday my baby be a giant man Trees stretch clear up to the sky Me all rest in the shade of it Rest in the roots when I die Oh Lord I pray you help me Help me make him good Never make me sorry that he was born I can see it me in the shade of the acorn tree He and his woman sitting side of me And maybe my baby with an acorn of his own |
