Paw Paw Tree

At last when the choice was neither/nor

Bottom of the bay we're set ashore

Went into town beg what we lack

Two hundred stripes on horseback

Wearing my yellow coat

Rope tied around my throat

Great green wax candle unlit

Silence! And then the sentence spit

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree

Wait they make mango mush out of me

Pick axe I can't stay

Silver mines all day

Cut down the ****wood

And think that I just could

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree

Wait they make mango mush out of me

Tied down with brown twine

Up past the tree line

Up by I hope where

The King of Spain don't care

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree

Wait they make mango mush out of me
