Observe
the mighty Cottonwood
a tree that does a body good,
for when the wind
is in its leaves
they rustle oh so pleasantly
The Cottonwood will stake
a claim
any place there is a little rain,
then from a wisp of cotton seed
becomes a mighty sturdy tree
Cowboys see it from afar
leads them
to water like a star,
they know the water there is good
anytime they see
a Cottonwood
Not only is there shade to rest
the Cottonwood will do
its best
to entertain its welcome guests
as the sun sets slowly in the
west
For anytime there is a breeze
the tree plays music in its leaves,
and I have to say quite honestly
the Cottonwood plays symphonies
So take a rest in some quiet dell
take off your boots and stay a spell,
I
guarantee, it'll do you good
to sit beneath a Cottonwood.
