Dar Williams - Holly Tree
INTRO: Am
F
When the robin builds in the holly tree
Am F
It's a sign of life, its gentle victory
C Dm
Well, today as I set to go
C F
I saw a nest in a tree hollow
Am F
Oh Emily, you're a brave girl
Am F
With your husband gone to the other world
C Dm
Sing a song while I light the fire
C F
We'll be joined by a spiritual choir

Here's the tansy and the chamomile
Dm
A tea for you to drink
F
As the pain increases, oh
Dm
You only have to think
Em
About a baby, we'll save the baby
Am F
I placed a holly sprig by the doctor's door
Am F
He has done this well and many times before
C Dm
He'll be careful which way he goes
C F
But he's been kind to us farm widows
Am F
And this I heard, just the other day
Am F
That they came to buy, and you chose to stay
C Dm
Soon a child will help you reap and sow
C F
May he cast a long shadow
But you say the trials are coming
Dm
You have felt the gathering forces
F
And the galloping you hear
Dm
Is of one too many horses
F
But rest your head my darling girl
Dm
There won't be any danger
F
Any person ever loved
Dm
An infant in a manger
Em
Saves the baby, save the baby
INSTRUMENTAL: Am F Am F C Dm C F Am
F
Now the pastor comes, shakes the farmer's hand
Am F
Says, ?The earth will bear, like the promised land
C Dm
You have heard the stories down below
C F Dm Am C
But nature will bless this farm hollow.?
F
Now the farmer's wife shudders
Dm
Pulls the shawl up to her shoulder
F
Every time she nears the hearth
Dm
She feels a little colder
Em
Where's the baby? There was a baby Your last visited songs
