it was a cool autumn night
when I saw your face reflecting the firelight
your cheeks shone with rosy hue
from that moment all I could think of was you
the night your father gave you to me
was the best night of my life
it was the first night with my wife
you are all that fills me with light
then one day
a pretty spirit came to me
she had eyes for me
but I couldn't see
I couldn't see
for my love was the only one for me
the spirit flew into a jealous rage
whirling into a pillar of flame
she struck me down right to my knees
transforming me into a twisted tree
and my love, you was begging on her knees,
“if you will not make him a man, make me a tree
make me a tree
make me a tree
make me a tree”
You cried until the spirits agreed
to turn you into a flower beside me
a bright red flower for all to see
