Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boy and his dog
Went out looking for the rainbow
You know what did they learn
Since that very day
Walking by the river
And running like a blue streak
Through the fields of streams and meadows
Laughing all the way
[Chorus]
Oh, redwood tree
Please let us under
When we were young we used to go
Under the redwood tree
And it smells like rain
Maybe even thunder
Won't you keep us from all harm?
Wonderful redwood tree
[Verse 2]
And a boy and his father
Went out, went out looking for the lost dog
You know what, oh, haven't they learned
Since they did that together
They did not bring him back
He already had departed
But look at everything they have learned
Since that, since that very day
[Chorus]
Oh, redwood tree
Please let us under
When we were young we used to go
Under the redwood tree
And it smells like rain
Maybe even thunder
Won't you keep us from all harm?
Wonderful redwood tree
