Lyrics
There's a tree in my garden
Where I get my shade
Apples sprout from the branches
They grow red and jade
Now a python hands them to me
But his offers I do spurn
He says now don't you know there's barns you just can't burn
Down the road there's a paddock
Where the livestock plump
I've scaled the fence, cut the wires
Taught them how to jump
But the butcher he's there waiting
He's hiding in the ferns
He says now don't you know there's barns you just can't burn
I've a bond with a lender
He holds all my keep
He skipped town weeks ago
He's gone to Mozambique
When I asked sheepish sidekick
If my interest would return
He said now don't you know there's barns you just can't burn
I've a gal in the army
Pistol on her wrist
She's holed up in the barracks
She did not enlist
When I asked that sergeant major
When she'd no longer serve
He said now don't you know there's barns you just can't burn
Down that road there's a courthouse
It's a lousy place
The cloth-eared robe, he don't listen
When I make my case
I tried to steal his gavel
But still he could adjourn
He said know don't you know there's barns
He said know don't you know there's barns
He said now don't you know there's barns you just can't burn
