The Lonesome Pine Hollows that found me one day lies deep inside of one’s soul. I strolled out one evening with the moon shining bright, upon my troubled soul, upon my troubled soul. And there in the moonlight I stood all alone, like the pines that swayed in the breeze. And the stars that shone far off in the cold dark night, they whispered unto me, they whispered unto me. Your time is short to blow in the wind, like the pines that stand on high. Don’t fret, regret for what may have been, for I’ll meet you by and by. The Lonesome Pine Hollows that found me one day lies deep inside of one’s soul. It lead me through darkness where the whistling winds blew, but where I did not know, But where I did not know My body did shiver and my hands did shake as I drifted like a log in the sea… Drifting through the memories of the days past and gone…and something whispered to me And something whispered to me. Your time is short to blow in the wind, like the pines that stand on high. Don’t fret, regret for what may have been, for I’ll meet you by and by. The Lonesome Pine Hollows that found me one day lies deep inside of one’s soul. When my mind’s filled with sadness and my heart’s filled with pain, that’s where I often go That’s where I often go Through the pines like the tombstones of the days past and gone. Oh the days like the dead… Roll on, roll on While in the shadows, in the shadows you can hear this howl, the lonesome moonlight song, This lonesome moonlight song Your time is short to blow in the wind, like the pines that stand on high. Don’t fret, regret for what may have been, for I’ll meet you by and by.

When all’s around your life seems dark, and all’s about to fall. And trouble is playing on your mind, there’s trouble, trouble, trouble that’s all… And when they lay your casket down, red roses by your side, will they say with sad regret, “There’s trouble, trouble all the time” In this old world we’re in, where good folk go to sleep with angry hearts, and loving eyes, there’s trouble, trouble on your mind. My grand dad when he lay to die, his time then drawing near. “Boy”, he says, “I’m afraid to go”, and he sheds a child’s tear… And when they laid his casket down, red roses by his side. I knew he carried foul regret for a life he’d let slip by. In this old world we’re in where time it seems to creep, why let seconds pass you by with trouble, trouble on your mind. In this wicked world we’re in so wrought by fool’s gold, it’s hard to see the truth sometimes and let it inside your soul… But make your heart a garden fair, that’s pure when it’s sown with love. Now who can quench that lasting fire that soars… …soars like a dove upon that whistling wind and leads you like a child. Keep your mind upon your heart that keeps you young and wild

Way back when where the music flowed, Big Wide River Of Love Farmer’s fields and the old scare crow, Big Wide River Of Love Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love Paddle back in a long canoe, Big Wide River Of Love, Sing and dance and play for you, Big Wide River Of Love Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love I take one look at the riverside, Big Wide River Of Love It’s so far it hurts my eyes, Big Wide River Of Love Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love The canoe tips and we all fall in, Big Wide River Of Love You drink it down, that powerful gin, Big Wide River Of Love Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love Now the river of love get it in your soul, Big Wide River Of Love Big Wide River Of Love Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love Well you ride it slow and you ride it fast, Big Wide River Of Love You ride it now back to the past, Big Wide River Of Love Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love
