There is a tree, flowers in spring.

White cherry buds, twenty-two rings.

I helped her grow, but have never seen
D# Fm
Carolina winter or Aberdeen.

Up the river delta my mother yearned
Fm G#
to taste the sweetness of her pain
D# Fm
fallin' down in Carolina rain.

My body has followed in her wake.
C# G#
If I'm to go, I'll go away
D# Fm
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

Smell of fish watered down,

Taste of liquor on her mouth,

My body has followed in her wake.

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

and given back the will to live.

And if I stay I'll stay today.

D# Fm
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.
