(Emmylou Harris/Paul Kennerley)

Well I used to roll and I used to ramble

Out on the wilder side of town

Every night I hear thebright lights calling

I never thought I could ever settle down.

Well, I seen a whole lot of painand trouble

In this lonesome life of mine

But you gave me love and you gave it double

And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines

I'll always be your little sweetheart of the pines

Now you searched the dark side of themountain

Just to find what you thought true loveshould be

But you found a heart that you never knew ?????

When you got around to the other side ofme.

Well, I seen a whole lot of painand trouble

In this lonesome love of mine

But you gave me love and you gave it double

And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines

I'll always be your little sweetheart of the pines.

Now you make me feel lovesick darlin'

The way I did back when my heart was young

But I'm young enough to start all over

And old enough to show you how it's done

Well, I seen a whole lot of painand trouble

In this lonesome life of mine

But you gave me love and you gave it double

And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines

I'll always be your little sweetheart of the pines
