lyrics

i shook the tree

i hung the pig, i shook the tree
i stopped caring what you think of me
what you think is not who i am
i shook the tree

i shook the tree, drank the juice
i never hid anything from you
i pulled the curtain from the truth
and shook the tree

oh, when the lights go out
i don't know how you stand it
oh, when the lights go out
how do you find your way?

i shook the tree, fruit fell down
like a stone, it hit the ground
but when it fell it made no sound
i shook the tree

i shook the tree, filled my sack
ran to the woods, not coming back
you cut me down, and set me free
i shook the tree

oh, when the lights go out
i don't know how you stand it
oh, when the lights go out
how do you find your way?

i hung the pig, i shook the tree
i stopped caring what you think of me
you cut me down, and set me free
i shook the tree

here i stand, but you don't see
i shook the tree

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
