So bury me under the lonesome pine tree
There they'll forever sway over me
There I can hear the sound of the lonesome dove
In that beautiful land of peace and love

These lonesome pines are calling me home
Never again will I ever roam
They'll carry me home and put me to rest
In that mighty fine land that I love best

* Refrain

For years I've been away but the time has come today
I'll return to my homeland never to stray
For the rest of my days I'll rest in peace
And never again no one to please

* Refrain
