lyrics

IRON TREE

Men call me the Iron Tree
Iron Tree
Step up take a swing and see
Why they call me the Iron Tree
Iron Tree

A gypsy told my mother
This boy's gonna cheat destiny
He's gonna laugh in the face of authority
And stand strong like an Iron Tree
Like an Iron Tree
Iron Tree
I'm the Iron Tree
Iron Tree

Men call me the Iron Tree
Step up take a swing and see
Iron Tree
No axe no saw no blade can cut me
Iron Tree
I am the Iron Tree
Iron Tree

Down through the mists of history
Through the shifting sands and mystery
One thing is a certainty
There has always stood an Iron Tree
An Iron Tree
Iron Tree
An Iron Tree
Iron Tree

I told my coach today
Nothing's ever gonna get past me
I'm gonna make history
I swear by the roots of the Iron Tree
By the Iron Tree
Iron Tree
Men call me the Iron Tree
Iron Tree
Step up take a swing and see
Why they call me the Iron Tree
Iron Tree

I'm The Iron Tree
