THEY CUT DOWN THE OLD PINE TREE (Willie Raskin, George Brown, Edward Eliscu) Stop a while and listen to my story I've just come down from the hill I went there to find my childhood sweetheart Among the roses and the daffodils/Whip o wills? I returned to look for the old pine tree That haunted my memory so, It was there she said she'd be waiting for me When we carved our hearts long ago, But, the old pine tree is gone But, my love for her lingers on They cut down the old pine tree And they hauled it away to the mill To make a coffin of pine For that sweetheart of mine They cut down the old pine tree But she's not alone in her grave tonight, For it's there my heart will al-ways be; Though we'd drifted a-part, Still they cut down my heart, When they cut down the old pine tree. They cut down the old pine tree And they hauled it away to the mill There'll be no coffin of pine For that sweetheart of mine They cut down the old pine tree But she's not alone in her grave tonight, For it's there my heart will always be; Now I always will roam, For they cut down my home, When they cut down the old pine tree. They cut down the old pine tree And they hauled it away to the mill There'll be no cradle of pine For that sweetheart of mine They cut down the old pine tree But she's not alone in her grave tonight, For it's there my heart will always be; Now I'm lost and forlorn, Wish I'd never been born, Since they cut down the old pine tree. copyright 1929 Vincent Youmans, Inc., Copyright assigned 1931 to Miller Music Corp. @country @death @tree @tearjerker filename[ CUTTREE RG |
