Full Lyrics
I had a little nuttree,
And nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear.
The King of Spain's daughter
She came to visit me,
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree.
I skipped o'er water,
I danced o'er the sea,
And all the birds of the air
Couldn't catch me.
Her dress was silk of crimson,
And jetblack was her hair.
She asked me for my nutmeg;
She asked me for my pear.
I said, So fair a maiden
I never yet did see,
I'll give you all the fruit
Of my little nuttree.
I skipped o'er water,
I danced o'er the sea,
And all the birds of the air
Couldn't catch me.
