I had a little Nut Tree

I had a little nut tree and 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 danced over the water, I danced over the sea
But all the birds of the air couldn't catch me.
I had a little nut tree and nothing would it bear,
But a silver nutmeg and a golden pear.
