       D                               E
From a tiny pine seed in northern Scotland
     A                               D
To a seedling growing in Hermann, Missouri
                            E
Then a Lake Fork grown pine tree
              A                D                          
And now a treasured clock on my wall

A tree stump from plot number six, called Donner
A thin slice with a few limbs formed its face
A little glue and the numbers went on her
Pretty clock carved from but tree waste

Today it hangs on my office wall
Here in Valley Park, Missouri
Reminding me of many long days in past Falls
Free now, from those days of hurry and worry

Yes, that tiny pine seed from Scotland
Became a seedling at Gwinners Hermann Nursery
Then a Christmas tree grown on our Illinois land
Now its trunk is a treasured clock here in Missouri
