Black Oak (sung to Luey Luey)



Chorus:    Black Oak Black Oak
              Ooh baby, let your xylem flow
              yeah yeah yeah yeah

A Black Oak’s roots grow way down low
where the water and the nutrients begin to flow
they raise their branches and wave to the sun
Now photosynthesis has begun

Chorus

I saw a grey squirrel just the other day
 He found an acorn and he ran away
He dig a hole and stuck it in the sand
Now tall tree are growing all over the land

Chorus

The Me-Wuk call it Telele (Ta-lay-lay)
they used to eat more than they eat it today
But they still grind it up and make it into powder
Try some and you’ll have BLACK OAK POWER!

Chorus
