| Life is no good friend
|
| Good friendship never ends
|
| The more you feel it grow
|
| The more you feel alone
|
| Start boasting your friends away
|
| You think that is life your way
|
| Though you know no tree will grow on too high a mountain
|
| You try to save your skin
|
| You know what mess you’re in
|
| Continuing the show
|
| Your spirit’s getting low
|
| There’s no-one real close to you
|
| You know it yet you make no room
|
| Though you know no tree will grow on too high a mountain
|
| You’ve pity on yourself
|
| Standing on this shelf
|
| Sadness make you walk
|
| Climbing up a rock
|
| You look for your gallows-tree
|
| But there’s one infirmity
|
| As you know no tree will grow on too high a mountain |
