Lisa Loeb - I Had A Little Nut Tree Lyrics

I had a little nut tree
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear
The King of Spain's daughter
Came to visit me

And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree
Her dress was made of crimson
Jet black was her hair
She asked me for my nutmeg

And my golden pear
I said, "so fair a princess
Never did I see
I'll give you all the fruit
From my little nut tree"
I danced over the water
I danced over the sea

And all the birds in the air
Couldn't catch me
I had a little nut tree
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear
