The Rambo-Tree

Listen in the reader

When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree-- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard!-- The bird sings low as the bumble-bee-- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard!-- The poor shote-pig he says, says he: "When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree There's enough for you and enough for me."-- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard.

For just two truant lads like we, When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree There's enough for you and enough for me-- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard.

When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree-- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard!-- The mole digs out to peep and see-- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard!-- The dusk sags down, and the moon swings free, There's a far, lorn call, "Pig-gee! 'Pig-gee!" And two boys--glad enough for three.-- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard.

For just two truant lads like we, When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree There's enough for you and enough for me-- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard.
