[Verse]
   GThe old oak tree had roots so Emfar down in the Fground
   GI fell from it and hit the Emdirt without a Fsound

   GA caterpillar to a Emmoth before I Fdie
   GI plodded through, orEmdinarily earthFbound
   GI knew my feet could never Emleave the groundF  
   GI went about my way, unEmsteady and aFfraid
