"Not I," said the Oak Tree,
D Bm A
"I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest
D Bm A Em
And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast."

Who will love a little sparrow?
C D
And who will speak a kindly word?

"Not I," said the Swan,
D Bm A
"The entire idea is utterly absurd,

Who will take pity in his heart
C D
And who will feed a starving sparrow?

"I would if I could but I cannot I know,
D Bm A Em
I need all my grain to prosper and grow."

"For all I've created returns unto me,
D Bm A Em
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."
