Lyrics: Knotty Pine

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 lean beneath the snow She's knotty but nice Reaching for the sky She don't like snow 'n 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 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 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 She's my knotty pine She leans with the wind She crys turpentine Sometimes she nettles me But I don't mind Only now and then When her branches lean beneath the snow
