With this song, it helps to know that cemeteries are often planted with pine trees. If you're going down a two-lane highway in America, and you see tall pines outlined against the sky on top of a hill, they are probably in a cemetery.

Verses I've learned that are not in the DT

Them long steel rails with short cross-ties
gonna carry me far from home.
That lonesome track gonna take me back
where a man calls his soul his own.

I kissed mama's cheek in a last goodbye,
now I'm lonesome as I could be.
For you gave me tears and wasted years
for the love you took from me.
