oh baby won't you come with me
i'll tell you where i'm going
under the shade of a fig tree
'till you'll be beside me
oh the sunlight streaks across the meadow
comes speaking through the canopy
the shadow suggests the shape of my interests
'till you'll be beside me
'till you'll be beside me
uprooting's heavy on the tree
and nature has been good to thee
you've been sittin' pretty with your prudence on your paw swingin'
i've been barking up the wrong tree
'till you'll be beside me
