From the recording Singles Volume Four
Lyrics
I’m gonna chop that tree down
but first make some mulberry wine2x
on hot day like today
that would taste divine
its growing to damn close
to the foundation of my home
I can’t let this go on
can’t leave this problem alone
I let it live there ten years
but I’m sick of all its pain
I know you don’t like killing trees
but I don’t like roots in my drains
don’t want to chop the tree down
for its beauty in the sky
and it give s me lots of shade
but it also brings me flies
it drops all its berries
and they pile up in the drive
I shovel up them berries
with maggots they’re alive
if the maggots hatch
I’ll be stuck with more and more flies
with a little effort
we can make mulberry wine
before the branches fall
lets make mulberry wine
make something good of this
cold mulberry wine
