For example:

They took all the trees
And put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem 'em

The version I know is from 1994

Oh bugger thats too early then!

Honeyroar · 22/06/2020 14:02

@Iggi999 correct! Yes I’m sure Gary Barlow wrote that actually- well he’s have done a lockdown online duet with them if he could! (sorry Prosecco!😘)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/06/2020 14:36

@Willow2017 Well done! I believe Joni was the original. The 1994 cover was Amy Grant 😊

Willow2017 · 22/06/2020 14:51

Coffee yep it's her song but it's 1970s. Didn't know the cover version.
