There is a tree, flowers in spring.
Dm F
White cherry buds, twenty-two rings.

I helped her grow, but have never seen
C Dm
Carolina winter or Aberdeen.

From the Missisippi floodgates my body churned.
Dm F
Up the river delta my mother yearned
Dm F
to taste the sweetness of her pain
C Dm
fallin' down in Carolina rain.
A# F
And if I stay I'll stay today.
Dm F
My body has followed in her wake.

If I'm to go, I'll go away
C Dm
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

She stayed by the sea hardened town.
Dm F
Smell of fish watered down,
Dm F
Taste of liquor on her mouth,
C Dm
and her heart it wandered down to the south.
A# F
And if I stay I'll stay today.
Dm F
My body has followed in her wake.
A# F
If I'm to go, I'll go away
C Dm
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

Her body is now hard from the years.
Dm F
She's still as strong, still as fierce.

C Dm
and given back the will to live.
A# F
And if I stay I'll stay today.
Dm F
My body has followed in her wake.
A# F
If I'm to go, I'll go away
C Dm
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.
C Dm
To Aberdeen and there I'll wait
C Dm
To Aberdeen and there I'll wait
