Lonesome Pine lyrics

There's a path back in the mountains To that one room house, where I was born Even now the memories linger My mama's smile so soft and warm CH: Lonesome pine I can hear you calling Calling me back to my home Where the fox and hound through the hills are roaming Lonesome pine calling me home It's been so long since I left that cabin In search of wealth fortune and fame Late at night when I'm alone and lonely I still hear my daddy call my name CH Someday soon I'm gonna travel Back to the land that I love best In the stillness of the mountains I will find sweet peace and rest CH
