There is a tree, flowers in spring.

White cherry buds, twenty-two rings.

Carolina winter or Aberdeen.

From the Missisippi floodgates my body churned.
Bm D
Up the river delta my mother yearned

to taste the sweetness of her pain
A Bm
fallin' down in Carolina rain.

And if I stay I'll stay today.

My body has followed in her wake.

to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

Taste of liquor on her mouth,

My body has followed in her wake.

And if I stay I'll stay today.

If I'm to go, I'll go away
A Bm
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.
