Pine Tree

Way down in Georgia Way down in Rome Come around the mornin' I'll be headed home Goin' to the mountains of the Caroline I'll get there before the sun falls behind the tallest pine Pine tree, pine tree Growin' from the soil of Galilee Don't be scared now Don't be slow If you don't go, the roots won't grow When I was a child there Three-feet I stood I looked out on the valley And dreamed the dreams I could As the years passed by My shadow grew so tall No steps could I take Afraid that I would fall Pine tree, pine tree Growin' from the soil of Galilee Don't be scared now Don't be slow If you don't go, the roots won't grow Well through the darkest rainfall I have been kept dry A steady hand has guided me to the other side When my dyin' day comes, bury me beside The tallest of the pine trees in the hills of Caroline Pine tree, pine tree Growin' from the soil of Galilee Don't be scared now Don't be slow If you don't go, the roots won't grow If you don't go, the roots won't grow Pine tree, pine tree Growin' from the soil of Galilee Don't be scared now Don't be slow If you don't go, the roots won't grow
