Knotty Pine Lyrics

CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:
VRS 1:
She's my knotty pine, she leans with the wind
She cries turpentine
Sometimes she nettles me but I don't mind
Only now and then
When her branches bend beneath the snow
VRS 2:
She's knotty but nice, reaching for the sky
She don't like snow or ice
To leave things as they stand is my advice
She's been good to me
So I tend to go there when I can
VRS 3:
She's my knotty pine, such a pretty scene
She tries to be kind
She gives birds a home and shelters them
In her coat of green
She's as green as evergreen can be
VRS 4:
She's a real delight, when little breezes call
To ruffle up her skin
All her sap runs free and sticks to me
Hidden deep within
I will be her slave eternally
INSTRUMNTL:
VRS 5:
She's my knotty pine, sunlight in her hair
By the serpentine
Though she is independent, I don't mind
Standing over there
Just beyond that maple on the right
VRS 6:
She's knotty but wise, she holds her anger in
Trees are her disguise
Cones are taking root before my eyes
Find them if you can
Among her boughs she keeps them out of sight
INSTRUMNTL:
VRS 7:
She's my knotty pine, she leans with the wind
She cries turpentine
Sometimes she nettles me but I don't mind
Only now and then
When her branches bend beneath the snow
