Sweetheart Of The Pines lyrics

Sweethearts of the Pines

(Emmylou Harris/Paul Kennerley)

Well, I used to roll and I used to ramble
Out on the wilder side of town
Every night I hear the bright lights calling
I never thought I could ever settle down.

Well, I seen a whole lot of pain and trouble
In this lonesome life of mine
But you gave me love and you gave it double
And I`ll always be your sweetheart of the pines.
I`ll always be your little sweetheart of the pines.

Now, you searched the dark side of the mountain
Just to find what you thought true love should be
But you found a heart that you never knew
When you got around to the other side of me.

Well, I seen a whole lot of pain and trouble
In this lonesome love of mine
But you gave me love and you gave it double
And I`ll always be your sweetheart of the pines.
I`ll always be your little sweetheart of the pines.

Now, you make me feel lovesick darlin`
The way I did back when my heart was young
But I`m young enough to start all over
And old enough to show you how it`s done.

Well, I seen a whole lot of pain and trouble
In this lonesome life of mine
But you gave me love and you gave it double
And I`ll always be your sweetheart of the pines.
I`ll always be your little sweetheart of the pines...
