Pine Tree Lyrics - This World Oft Can Be - Della Mae

Way down in Georgia 

Way down in Rome 

Come around the mornin' 

I'll be headed home 

Goin' to the mountains 

of the Carolines 

I'll get there before the sun falls 

Behind the tallest pine 

Pine tree, pine tree 

Growin' from the soil of Gallilee 

Don't be scared now, don't be slow 

If you don't go the roots won't grow 

When I was a child there 

Three feet I stood 

I looked out on the valley 

And dreamed the dreams I could 

As the years passed by 

My shadow grew so tall 

No steps could I take 

Afraid that I would fall 

Pine tree, pine tree 

Growin' from the soil of Gallilee 

Don't be scared now, don't be slow 

If you don't go the roots won't grow 

Well through the darkest rainfall 

I have been kept dry 

A steady hand has guided me me 

To the other side 

When my dying day comes 

Bury me beside 

The tallest of the pine trees 

In the hills of Caroline 

Pine tree, pine tree 

Growin' from the soil of Gallilee 

Don't be scared now, don't be slow 

If you don't go the roots won't grow 

If you don't go the roots won't grow 

Pine tree, pine tree 

Growin' from the soil of Gallilee 

Don't be scared now, don't be slow 

If you don't go the roots won't grow
