 [1st verse:]
 A great big tree grows near our house
 It's been there quite some time
 This tree's a slipp'ry elm tree and very hard to climb
 But when my wife starts after me, up in that tree I roost
 I go up like a healthy squirrel and never need no boost
 The other day a woodman came to chop the refuge down
 And carve it into kindling wood, to peddle 'round the town
 I says to him, "I pray thee cease, desist, refrain and stop
 Lay down that razor, man, chop not a single chop"
 
 [chorus:]
 Woodman, woodman, spare that tree
 Touch not a single bough
 For years it has protected me 
 And I'll protect it now
 Chop down an oak, a birch or pine
 But not this slipp'ry elm of mine
 It's the only tree that my wife can't climb
 So spare that tree
 
 [2nd verse:]
 I said to him, "You see that hole
 Up near that old treetop
 I've got five dollars there, that's yours, if you refrain to chop
 No beast but me can climb that tree, 'cause it's too slippery
 I can't get up myself, unless my wife is after me
 So get my wife and I'll call her a very naughty word
 And then you'll see me give an imitation of a bird
 You may not know just where to go, when my wife gets around
 But when she comes, remember this, if I'm not on the ground"
