The Persimmon Tree (Groupe Tija )

I used to climb up on the persimmon tree
In the back yard of my grandma's house every summer
Away from my home where the rules were so strict
Me and my sisters couldn't wait to be at her house

We all rode a train to the country side she lived
Where many flowers and fruit trees all thrived
The time has gone by
Since our last good bye
But I remember grandma's yard and the persimmon tree

The water was cool when we played in the stream
The sunlight shines fresh and clear still in my dreams
Early in the morning we learned the Apostles' Creed
About the everlasting life, heaven, and earth

We all rode a train to the country side she lived
Where many flowers and fruit trees all thrived
Now I live so many miles away
But I remember grandma's yard and the persimmon tree
The flowers and the stream
By the persimmon tree, ouhhh
