Lyrics:

Underneath the spreading chestnut tree
I loved him and he loved me
There I used to sit up on his knee
'Neath the spreading chestnut treeThere beneath the boughs we used to meet
All his kisses were so sweet
All the little birdies went 'tweet-tweet'
'Neath the spreading chestnut treeI said 'I love you', and there ain’t no if‘s or but’s
He said 'I love you', and the blacksmith shouted 'Chestnut!'

There he said he’d marry me
Now you oughta see our family
'Neath the spreading chestnut tree!There beneath the boughs we used to meet
All his kisses were so sweet
All the little birdies went 'tweet-tweet'
'Neath the spreading chestnut treeUnderneath the spreading chestnut tree
There he said he’d marry me
Now you oughta see our family
'Neath the spreading chestnut tree!
