Sweetheart of the Pines - Emmylou Harris

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
