The Pine Tree |
| I lean my back against you thinkin' you were an oak |
| I knew the wind could bent you but I can’t believe you broke |
| Now the wind could never break me only your false love |
| Honey I’ve been true I swear by God above |
| I thought you were a willow but you never wept for me |
| You went roamin' in the wildwood like a ship that roams the see |
| The willow tree is fickle and it weeps in the morning dew |
| My love is a pine tree cause that’s the only tree that’s true |
| If I was mistaken then take my eyes away |
| You made a bed in the wildwood and that’s where I saw you lay |
| Honey your eyes deceived you it’s true I touched the ground |
| But I never slept there I never let my long hair down mhm |
| Love is like a thorn bush touch it and you will find |
| You’ll prick your fingers and leave the sweetest flower behind |
| Love oh love oh what you done to me |
| You set me a driftin' like a ship upon the sea |
| Yes a ship there is I see you and you belong to me |
| My love is the ocean and deeper love cannot be |
| Yeah well I guess I was mistaken and woman I want you back |
| You never have left my heart now honey baby that’s a fact |
| Come to me pine tree and we will never part |
| We’ll put our roots down in each other’s heart |
| Come to me pine tree… |
