I Had a Little Nut Tree - Mother Goose Club

I had a little nut tree

Nothing would it bear

But a silver nutmeg

And a golden pear

The King of Spain’s daughter

Came to visit me

And all for the sake

Of my little nut tree

Her dress was made of crimson

Golden was her hair

She asked me for my nut tree

And my golden pear

I said, «So fair a princess

Never did I see

I’ll give you all the fruit

From my little nut tree.»

I had a little nut tree

Nothing would it bear

But a silver nutmeg

And a golden pear

The King of Spain’s daughter

Came to visit me

And all for the sake

Of my little nut tree

I danced over the water

I skipped across the sea

And all the birds in the air

Couldn’t catch me
