Trees Lay By Lyrics

Josephine Foster Trees Lay By

Trees lay by, I'm going away

The last holy holyday

Trees lay by, it's time to fold

It's time to fold away.



I'm going away

Just roll me by, I cannot stay ('bye, brothers good)

Going to the sky

Won't need your branches to climb, in the by'n'by.



Trees lay by, I'm going away

The last holy holyday

Trees lay by, it's time to fold

It's time to fold away.



Not north nor south

Won't be trespassing in my new house (no sister should)

Nor east nor west

Won't need your blanket for this long rest



Trees lay by, I'm going away

The last holy holyday

Trees lay by, it's time to fold

It's time to fold away.
