Way down in Georgia
Way down in Rome
Come around the mornin'
I'll be headed home Goin' to the mountains
of the Carolines
I'll get there before the sun falls
Behind the tallest pine Pine tree, pine tree
Growin' from the soil of Gallilee
Don't be scared now, don't be slow
If you don't go the roots won't grow When I was a child there
Three feet I stood
I looked out on the valley
And dreamed the dreams I could As the years passed by
My shadow grew so tall
No steps could I take
Afraid that I would fall Pine tree, pine tree
Growin' from the soil of Gallilee
Don't be scared now, don't be slow
If you don't go the roots won't grow Well through the darkest rainfall
I have been kept dry
A steady hand has guided me me
To the other side When my dying day comes
Bury me beside
The tallest of the pine trees
In the hills of Caroline Pine tree, pine tree
Growin' from the soil of Gallilee
Don't be scared now, don't be slow
If you don't go the roots won't grow If you don't go the roots won't grow Pine tree, pine tree
Growin' from the soil of Gallilee
Don't be scared now, don't be slow
If you don't go the roots won't grow
