The Sycamores

from Heist On A Bike by Douglas Kay

/

lyrics

I’m pulling on my boots, Come with me and explore,
We’ll go and play detectives, Down by the sycamores.

That’s where the rag was found, All marked with oil and grease,
She’d stitched upon it, “Lover, I’ll meet you by the trees.”

She’d almost feel her heart stop, When he looked in her eyes.

We’ll discover the secrets time concealed,
We’ll discover the secrets unrevealed.

But what about that girl, Who made the lovers’ tryst,
‘Twas deep into September, Before she was even missed.

One night he made her heart stop, As he looked in her eyes.

We’ll discover the secrets time concealed,
We’ll discover the secrets unrevealed.

So let’s go undercover, See what we’ll recover.

Some old folks in our town, Had heard of this before,
That’s where they drowned the traitors, Down by the sycamores.
