Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFGAA AAHHIJJDICAA KKLLGGMMCDAA| I WONDER what the trees will say | A |
| The trees that used to share his play | A |
| An' knew him as the little lad | B |
| Who used to wander with his dad | B |
| They've watched him grow from year to year | C |
| Since first the good Lord sent him here | D |
| This shag bark hick'ry many a time | E |
| The little fellow tried t' climb | E |
| An' never a spring has come but lie | F |
| Has called upon his favorite tree | G |
| I wonder what they all will say | A |
| When they are told he's marched away | A |
| - | |
| I wonder what the birds will say | A |
| I'lie swallow an' the chatterin' jay | A |
| The robin an' the kildeer too | H |
| For every one o' them he knew | H |
| An' every one o' them knew him | I |
| Waited each spring t' tell him all | J |
| They'd done and seen since 'way last fall | J |
| He was the first to greet 'em here | D |
| An' hoppin' there from limb t' limb | I |
| As they returned from year t' year | C |
| An' now I wonder what they'll say | A |
| When they are told he's marched away | A |
| - | |
| I wonder how the roses there | K |
| Will get along without his care | K |
| An' how the one o' them will face | L |
| The loneliness about th' place | L |
| For ev'ry spring an' summer he | G |
| Has been the chum o' plant an' tree | G |
| An' every livin' thing has known | M |
| A comradeship that's finer grown | M |
| By havin' him from year t' year | C |
| Now very soon they'll all be here | D |
| An' I'm wonderin' what they'll say | A |
| When they find out he's marched away | A |
