There is a tree, flowers in spring.

Carolina winter or Aberdeen.

to taste the sweetness of her pain
F# G#m
fallin' down in Carolina rain.

And if I stay I'll stay today.

If I'm to go, I'll go away
F# G#m
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

Taste of liquor on her mouth,
F# G#m
and her heart it wandered down to the south.

If I'm to go, I'll go away

And if I stay I'll stay today.

If I'm to go, I'll go away
F# G#m
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.
