Da streams go all aroun da place wea dat tree grow.
An all aroun da odda fores trees.
5 Az how da tree grow tall,
Mo tall den all da odda trees in da country side.
Da branches come big.
An spread out plenny cuz get plenny watta.

All da importan nations live
Unda da shade a dat tree.
7 Da cedar tree look good looking cuz stay awesome.
Da big branches spread out all ova,
Cuz da roots go down fo get plenny watta.
8 ✡Da odda cedar trees inside da park wit trees God wen make,
No mo no odda tree stay awesome jalike dat tree!

10 “ ‘Az why dis wat Da One In Charge, da Boss, tell: Egypt jalike dat tree!

I awready wen kick out dat tree! 12 So da nation dat stay mo mean den all da odda nations, dey cut down da big cedar tree an leave um ova dea. Da branches fall down on top da mountains an inside all da valleys. Da branches broke an lay inside all da gulches all ova da land. All da peopos on top da earth come outa da shade an bag from dea. 13 All da birds in da sky stay on top da cut off tree trunk dat lay dea, an all da wild animals stay wea da branches fall down. 14 Az why no goin get anodda tree dat drink plenny watta grow real tall lidat, above da odda trees dat get plenny leaf.
