Oh, Won't you come sit with me
Under the shade of my China Berry tree
We will talk and shoot the breeze
Under the shade of
My China Berry tree

Oh, Won't you come sit with me
We'll have a slice of watermelon
As we bat the breeze
Under the shade of my
China Berry tree

And if the clouds begin to stir
And the wind doth blow
We'll watch them come
And we'll watch them go
But if it storms
You'll have to leave
For it's not safe
To be
Under a tree
Even if it is

An Umbrella tree

I really like this.....

                       "And if the clouds begin to stir
                            And the wind doth blow
                            We'll watch them come
                            And we'll watch them go
                               But if it storms
                              You'll have to leave
                               For it's not safe
                                  To be
                                Under a tree
                                Even if it is

                              An Umbrella tree"

Very enjoyable reading!
