Grave In The Pines

[Verse 1]
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
You'll shiver when the cold wind blows
There's a grave in the pines, where the sun never shines
There's a grave that's shaded with a pine

[Verse 2]
My true love lies, in a narrow grave
In the pines, where the sun never shines
She's snow lies deep, on my true lovers grave
In the pines, in the pines, in the pines

[Verse 3]
We used to sat, and tell of our love
In the pines, where the sun never shines
But now she's gone, like the turtle dove
In the pines, in the pines, in the pines
That icy grave, that lies on the hill
I know she's cold up there
I loved her dearer, than all this world
For there never was one so fair

[Verse 4]
I'm an old-time rounder, who's done goin' down
This life is blank to me
For the only one, I ever loved
Was taken away from me
I have my friends, I have my foes
But life to me is blind
She's sleeping now, in a cold dark grave
In the pines, in the pines, in the pines

[Verse 5]
I'm going away, but I won't come back
On a lonesome railroad line
But I can't forget, that sweet little girl
Who sleeps in the pines, in the pines
