Bill Monroe - Tall Pines Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Once in my youth, I stood on this mountain
  • And planted some pines in the sand
  • Every day I looked their way
  • But just couldn't understand
  • Why they never grew like I thought they should do
  • I just couldn't understand why
  • Now I've rambled around this wide world through
  • And today I just happened by
  • Tall pines, tall pines
  • Reaching up for the clouds
  • Tall pines, tall pines
  • I bet you wouldn't know me now.
  • I'll never forget the morning I left
  • The hum of the bees in the hay
  • The farther I walk, the harder they talk
  • How silent it seems here today
  • There's an old rail fence that we built, inch by inch
  • Surrounding the old family graves
  • And there's one gravestone standing all alone
  • There waiting to join me in the shade
  • Tall pines, tall pines
  • Reaching up for the clouds
  • Tall pines, tall pines
  • I've come home to sleep beneath your boughs.
