Chinaberry Tree - Vic Chesnutt

Me with a machete

Going at the chinaberry tree

All the key players are watching me

Through their simian groove thing

Sweat slinging

Blood slickening

Life ever-loosening grill

Chinaberry tree

Chinaberry tree

Chinaberry tree

The biggest chinaberry tree

That I’ve ever seen

Sawdust in the air

And on the ground everywhere

Throwing myself at the cut

With a force heretofore unknown to me

Chinaberry tree

Chinaberry tree

Chinaberry tree

Chinaberry tree

Chinaberry tree

Chinaberry tree

Neatest chinaberry tree

That has ever been
