《In The Pines》的歌詞如下:
I'm going back to my home in the pines,
Where the wild geese know my name.
Out on the plains,
Way down the lane,
A tramp he must remain.
Gathering up my clothes from the damp ground,
From the root of a rose I plucked the sound,
Life has no tomorrow, and must have past.
Must have a goodbye song.
(Chorus)
For tomorrow it may be too late,
It's so hard to take your feet away.
With one final leap in the morning of the world,
There will be no life, no love and no pain.
Well I got so lonesome in this big town,
It's been hard for me to go around.
You may have gold on your wedding day,
But if you have me all you'll lack.
And you won't shed a tear when I'm gone,
In the pines my door is closed forevermore.
And my bed will be lonely and cold as stone,
And I'll be sleeping on the ground.
(Chorus)
So take me back to my home in the pines,
Where the wind whistles and the river sings.
The one thing I'll miss is my bed of roses,
But I'll sleep with the angels tonight.
