about

My fifth grade students love this song as much as the kindergarteners do! I hope this song puts a smile on the faces of the kids in your life, and maybe on yours too.

lyrics

There’s a tree
By a rolling river
On a wide stretch of land

On a wide stretch of land
There’s a tree
By a rolling river

There’s a tree
By a rolling river
Near a smooth moss covered rock

Near a smooth moss covered rock
On a stretch of land
There’s a tree by a rolling river

There’s a tree
By a rolling river
Past the bend beyond the brook

Past the bend beyond the brook
Near a smooth moss covered rock
On a stretch of land
There’s a tree by a rolling river

Sometimes I wonder what’s happening around the bend
Are the catfish jumping why down we jump in and join them
Is the whirlpool whirling round and round again
Turning round in a circle that never ends

There’s a tree
By a rolling river
Over a fast, fast running stream

Over a fast, fast running stream
Past the bend beyond the brook
Near a smooth moss covered rock
On a stretch of land
There’s a tree by a rolling river

There’s a tree
By a rolling river
Under a big, big waterfall

Under a big, big waterfall
Over a fast, fast running stream
Past the bend beyond the brook
Near a smooth moss covered rock
On a stretch of land
There’s a tree by a rolling river

Sometimes I wonder what’s happening around the bend
Are the catfish jumping why don't we jump in and join them
Is the whirlpool whirling round and round again
Turning round in a circle that never ends


There’s a tree
By a rolling river
And I’m quite content to be
Sitting in the shade of that old tree

Under a big, big waterfall
Over a fast, fast running stream
Past the bend beyond the brook
Near a smooth moss covered rock
On a stretch of land
By a rolling river
