The Pine Tree Lyrics & Tabs by Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash
The Pine Tree
guitar chords lyrics
I lean my back against you, thinkin' you were an oak
I knew the wind could bend you but I can't believe you broke
Now the wind could never break me, only your false love
Honey, I've been true, I swear by God above
I thought you were a willow but you never wept for me
You went roamin' in the wild wood like a ship that roams the sea
The willow tree is fickle and it weeps in the morning dew
My love is a pine tree, that's the only tree that's true
If I was mistaken then take my eyes away
You made a bed in the wild wood and that's where I saw you lay
Honey, your eyes deceived you, it's true, I touched the ground
But I never slept there, I never let my long hair down
Love is like a thorn bush, touch it and you will find
You'll prick your fingers and leave the sweetest flower behind
Love, oh, love, oh, what you done to me
Love is like a thorn bush, touch it and you will find
You'll prick your fingers and leave the sweetest flower behind
Love, oh, love, oh, what you done to me
You set me a driftin' like a ship upon the sea
Yes, a ship there is I see you and you belong to me
My love is the ocean and deeper love cannot be
Yeah, well, I guess, I was mistaken and woman, I want you back
You never have left my heart now, honey baby, that's a fact
Come to me pine tree and we will never part
We'll put our roots down deep in each other's heart
Come to me pine tree and we will never part
We'll put our roots down deep in each other's heart
Come to me pine tree and we will never part
We'll put our roots down deep in each other's heart
