Elder Tree by The Riverside (Folk) Lyrics

Took a stroll by the trees
Down the hill my father built
Standing there since elder days
Standing there since elder days

Ho!

Hold me down before I fall
Along the roots that grow down tall
A little nook that I have seen
You'll find me there, that's where I'll be
You'll find me there, by the elder tree

I have tried but I can't be
Help me grow down deep
Along the roots, laying by the trees
Help me grow down
'Cause I have tried but I can't be
Help me grow down deep
Along the roots, laying by the trees
Help me grow down
'Cause I have tried but I cannot be
Help me grow down deep
Along the roots, laying by the trees
Help me grow down
A little nook that I have seen
You'll find me there, that's where I'll be
A little nook that I have seen
You'll find me there, that's where I'll be
You'll find me there, by the elder tree
