On the Way
Dirty Channels Feat Rosina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the trail of the lonesome Pine
In the pale moonshine our hearts entwine
Where you carved your name and I carved mine.
Oh, you - like the mountains are blue
Like the pine - I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On a mountain in Virginia stands a lonesome Pine
Just below is the little 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.
