I Had a Little Nut Tree Posted on 04/02/201204/02/2012 by adrianedward I Had a Little Nut Tree I had a little nut tree, nothing would it bear But a silver nutmeg, and a golden pear; The King of Spain’s daughter came to visit me, And all for the sake of my little nut tree. I skipped over water, I danced over sea, And all the birds in the air couldn’t catch me.
