about

I wanted to write a song that felt simultaneously like Ralph Stanley and Roscoe Holcomb. The result here is story song inspired by California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountains and an account John Muir. -CJH

lyrics

pine tree, old pine tree
get up and go away
you're the loneliest tree I've ever seen
get up and go away

old you, piney mountain
you stole my heart from me
she died the age of twenty-one
frozen on her knees

it's ashes to ashes

chop your wood to make a fire
set the beans to boil
its up to you and old pine smoke
to keep me ever warm

bear grease biscuits, butter fried
set me on my way
I cannot stop, I've not begun
Since death took yesterday

old lee climbs the granite face
up into god's hell
can't find no heaven
nor the tolling of the bell
