Chinaberry Tree Vic Chesnutt

Me with a machete
Going at the chinaberry tree
All the key players are watching me
Through their simian groupthink
Sweat slinging
Blood slickening
My ever-loosening grip

Chinaberry tree
Chinaberry tree
Chinaberry tree
The biggest chinaberry tree that I've ever seen

Sawdust in the air
And on the ground everywhere
Throwing myself at the cut
With a force heretofore unknown to me

Chinaberry tree
Chinaberry tree
Chinaberry tree

Chinaberry tree
Chinaberry tree
Chinaberry tree
The meanest chinaberry tree that has ever been
