Lyrics
The Manchineel Tree by Jeff Person © 20/02/2016
Intro: Steel Drums
Verse 1:
Under the spreading Manchineel
People they ask me how I feel?
I tell them I don't feel so bad
Except for these scalding burns I have
Chorus1:
Manchineel will make you burn
That is the lesson you must learn
If you sleep under the Manchineel tree
Then you will feel the burn like me
Verse 2:
Little green apples from the sky
Don't look up they may hit your eye
Then you will find that you can't see
Under the Manchineel tree
Instrumental : Steel Drums
Verse 1:
Chorus 2:
Manchineel will make you feel bad
When you start losing the skin you had
And as your back begins to peel
You'll curse the dreaded Manchineel
Chorus1:
Manchineel will make you burn
That is the lesson you'll soon learn
If you sleep under the Manchineel tree
Then you will feel the burn like me
Tag: If you sleep under the Manchineel tree
Then you will feel the burn like me
