CHORUS:
Well, they cut down the ole pine tree
Hauled it away to th mill
Make a coffin' of pine, for that sweetheart of mine
When they cut down th ole pine tree

But she's not here alone tonight

For there's where my heart will always be
They cut out my heart, when they cut down th tree
Cut down that ole pine tree
