Pine tree, pine over me,
Now that my love is gone.
Pine tree, you seem to be
The only one pining for me!

Tell Black Eyed Susans I've tears in my eyes,
Tell all the mountains to echo my sighs.
Please tell my darlin' how my poor heart yearns,
And that I'll be lonely until he returns!

Pine tree, pine over me,
Now that my love is gone.
Pine tree, you seem to be
The only one pining for me!

Call from your tree top, your tree top so high,
Talk to my darlin', tell her how I cry.
Say that I pray that she'll come back some day,
And that I still love her while she's far away!

Oh oh oh oh oh, pine tree, pine over me,
Now that my love is gone.
Pine tree, you seem to be
The only one pining for me!

Please call from your tree top, your tree top so high,
Talk to my darlin', tell him how I cry.
Say that I pray he'll come back some day,
And that I love him while he's far away!

Oh oh oh oh oh, pine tree, pine over me,
Now that my love is gone.
Pine tree, you seem to be
The only one pining for me!
