Lyrics

  1. 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

Chorus
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

  1. I can hear the tinkling waterfall
    Far among the hills
    Bluebirds sing each so merrily
    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
