I lean my back against you
Thinking you were an oak
I knew the wind could bend you
But I can't believe you broke
Now the wind could never break me
Only your false love
Honey, I've been true
I swear by God above
I thought you were a willow
But you never wept for me
You went roaming in the wildwood
Like a ship that roams the see
The willow tree is fickle
And it weeps in the morning dew
My love is a pine tree
Cause that's the only tree that's true
If I was mistaken
Then take my eyes away
You made a bed in the wildwood
And that's where I saw you lay
Honey, your eyes deceived you
It's true I touched the ground
But I never slept there
I never let my long hair down
Love is like a thorn bush
Touch it and you will find
You'll prick your fingers
And leave the sweetest flower behind
Love, oh, love
Oh, what you done to me?
You set me a drifting
Like a ship upon the sea
Yes, a ship there is I see you
And you belong to me
My love is the ocean
And deeper love cannot be
Yeah, well, I guess I was mistaken
And woman, I want you back
You never have left my heart
Now, honey baby, that's a fact
Come to me, pine tree
And we will never part
We'll put our roots down
In each other's heart
Come to me, pine tree
And we will never part
We'll put our roots down
In each other's heart
Come to me, pine tree
And we will never part
We'll put our roots down
