Joan Baez - The River In The Pines Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Oh, Mary was a maiden
  • When the birds began to sing
  • She was sweeter than the blooming rose
  • So early in the spring
  • Her thoughts were gay and happy
  • And the morning gay and fine
  • For her lover was a river boy
  • From the river in the pines
  • Now Charlie, he got married
  • To his Mary in the spring
  • When the trees were budding early
  • And the birds began to sing
  • But early in the autumn
  • When the fruit is in the wine
  • I'll return to you, my darling
  • From the river in the pines
  • It was early in the morning
  • In Wisconsin dreary clime
  • When he ruled the fatal rocket
  • For that last and feudal time
  • They found his body lying
  • On the Rocky shore below
  • Where the silent water ripples
  • And the whispering cedars blow
  • Now every raft or lumber
  • That's come down, the chip away
  • There's a lonely grave that's
  • visited by drivers on their way
  • They plant the wild flowers upon it
  • In the morning fair and fine
  • 'Tis the grave of two young lovers
  • From the river in the pines
