In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
That's where I might as well be.
Where it's dark and it's cold, and the sun never shines,
Just as cold as your love for me.
You wanted love, and I gave you mine.
You said you would always be true.
Then you gave me tears, and wasted years,
For the love I gave to you.
I kissed Momma's cheek in a last goodbye;
Now I'm lonely as I could be.
It broke her poor heart to see me cry
When you took your love from me.
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
That's where I might as well be.
Where it's dark and it's cold, and the sun never shines,
Just as cold as your love for me.
