Cedar Tree Lyrics

"Cedar Tree" is an Amy Ray song from 1991.

According to Chris, Amy said that she wrote this song after she took

a walk in Georgia with a guy who knew the history of the area. They

came across an old burnt out homestead with a well and a grove of

trees. Her friend said that the man who lived there planted a cedar

when his wife died...there were five trees.

Cedar Tree.

You dug a well, you dug it deep

For every wife you buried

You planted a cedar tree

The best, the best you ever had.

I stand where you stood

I stand for bad or good

And I am green and you are wood

The best, the best he ever had.

I'll dig a well, I'll dig it deep

And for my only love

I plant the cedar tree

The best, the best I'll ever have.
