Once in my youth, I stood on this mountain And planted some pines in the sand Every day I looked their way But just couldnt understand Why they never grew like I thought they should do I just couldnt understand why Now Ive rambled around this wide world through And today I just happened by Tall pines, tall pines Reaching up for the clouds Tall pines, tall pines I bet you wouldnt know me now Ill never forget the morning I left The hum of the bees in the hay The farther I walk, the harder they talk How silent it seems here today Theres an old rail fence that we built, inch by inch Surrounding the old family graves And theres one gravestone standing all alone There waiting to join me in the shade Tall pines, tall pines Reaching up for the clouds Tall pines, tall pines Ive come home to sleep beneath your boughsYou might also like
