SONG: I Had a Little Nut Tree HISTORY: (Wikipedia) “The first recorded instance of the rhyme is in Newest Christmas Box, printed in London in 1797. James Orchard Halliwell suggested that it was much older and commemorated Juana of Castile who visited the court of Henry VII in 1506 but did not provide any additional evidence to support the theory.” VERSION: Chords based on the Mother Goose Club Playhouse version found at: [Chords] Dsus2/G 3x0230 Em 022000 A7 x02020 D xx0232 Dsus2 xx0230 [Intro] Dsus2/G Em7 A D [Verse 1]
  D
I had a little nut tree,

Dsus2/G          Dsus2
Nothing would it bear,

Dsus2/G      Dsus2
But a silver nutmeg

A7           D
And a golden pear;
[Verse 2]
    D
The King of Spain's daughter

Dsus2/G       Dsus2
Came to visit me,

Dsus2/G         Em
And all for the sake

      A7         D
Of my little nut tree.
[Verse 3]
    D
Her dress was made of crimson,

Dsus2/G                         Dsus2
Jet black (alt. Golden) was her hair,

    Dsus2/G         Dsus2
She asked me for my nutmeg

A7            D
And my golden pear.
[Verse 4]
D
I said, "So fair a princess

Dsus2/G     Dsus2
Never did I see,

     Dsus2/G          Em
I'll give you all the fruit

        A7         D
From my little nut tree.
[Verse 5]
  D
I had a little nut tree,

Dsus2/G
Nothing would it bear,

Dsus2/G      Dsus2
But a silver nutmeg

And a golden pear;
[Verse 6]

The King of Spain's daughter

Dsus2/G
Came to visit me,

Dsus2/G         Em
And all for the sake

      A7         D
Of my little nut tree.
[Verse 7]
  D
I danced over the water,

Dsus2/G              Dsus2
I skipped across the sea,

    Dsus2/G       Em
And all the birds in the air

A7            D
Couldn’t catch me
