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
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 am blue
Like the pine, I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine
In the pale moonshine our hearts entwine
Where she carves her name and I carved mine
Oh June like the mountains I am blue
Like the pines, I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine
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
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 am blue
Like the pine, I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine
In the pale moonshine our hearts entwine
Where she carves her name and I carved mine
Oh June like the mountains I am blue
Like the pines, I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine
