Ein schönes Liebeslied:

 

On a mountain in Virginia stands a lonesome pine,

Just below is the cabin home,

Of a little girl of mine.

Her name is June, and very, very soon,

She'll belong to me,

For I know she's waiting there for me

'Neath that lone pine tree.

 

Refrain:

In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia,

On the trail of the lonesome pine

In the pale moonshine our hearts entwine,

Where she carved her name and I carved mine;

Oh, June like the mountains I'm blue

Like the pine I am lonesome for you

In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia,

On the trail of the lonesome pine.

 

I can hear the tinkling waterfall, far among the hills,

Bluebirds sing each so merily

To his mate in rapture trills;

They seem to say "Your June is lonesome too",

Longing fills her eyes,

She is waiting for you patiently,

Where the pine tree sighs.

 

Refrain
