Knotty Pine Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

She's my knotty pine 

She leans with the wind 

She cries turpentine 

Sometimes she nettles me 

But I don't mind 

Only now and then 

When her branches lean beneath the snow 

She's knotty but nice 

Reaching for the sky 

She don't like snow 'n ice 

To leave things as they stand 

Is my advice 

She's been good to me 

So I tend to go there when I can 

She's my knotty pine 

Such a pretty scene 

She tries to be kind 

She gives birds a home 

And shelters them 

In her coat of green 

She's as green as evergreen can be 

She's a real delight 

When little breezes call 

To ruffle up her skin 

All her sap runs free 

And sticks to me 

Hidden deep within 

I will be her slave eternally 

She's my knotty pine 

She leans with the wind 

She crys turpentine 

Sometimes she nettles me 

But I don't mind 

Only now and then 

When her branches lean beneath the snow
