He Smokes A Pipe lyrics

Stand clear the man who smokes a pipe

For he's a feeling, thinking soul

He loves a tree and the fruit when it's ripe

Or the birth of a new foal

He's a sure man and stubborn as an ass

But he might listen to you

So if your afraid to get too close then pass

For his friendship is tried and true

A child knows the kindness of his heart

And will nudge right up to him

He'll shed a tear and with a word he'll part

And another soul he'll win

Trespass not on his pleasured pipe, dear

For character is in that wood

Abide well his words every one you hear

They are gifts for the good
