The Ghost Tree Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree) Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree) Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree) He waits for me Back in town people stare since my daddy left Momma says he drank himself down to our last cent He would spin me ‘round sometimes and say he loved me best I know he’ll come back for me when I least expect, singin’ Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree) Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree) Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree) He’ll come for me Come back for me He’ll come for me Saw him parked on Pelham Road by the package store Leather boots and grey-blue eyes I hadn’t seen before Said he knew by lookin’ somehow I was meant for more More than this sad strip mine town could ever do me for Met him after school today, on my way back home Said he knew a quiet place we could be alone Only if I wanted to, he’d leave it up to me Walkin’ down, my heart pounds, daddy’s words behind me I’m gonna meet him… Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree) Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree) Down by the sycamore tree (Down by the ghost tree)
