There's a path back in the mountains
FGC
To that one room house, where I was born.
DmAm
Even now the memories linger
FGC
Of how Mama smiled so soft and warm.

Lonesome pine, I can hear you calling;
FGC
Calling m--e back to my home;
DmAm
Where the fox and hounds through the hills are roaming.
FGC
Lonesome pine calling me home!
Verse 2
CG
It's been so long since I left that cabin
FGC
In search of wealth, fortune, and fame;
DmAm
And late at night, when I'm alone and lonely,
FGC
I can hear my daddy call my name.
Chorus
CG
Lonesome pine, I can hear you calling;
FGC
Calling m--e back to my home;
DmAm
Where the fox and hounds through the hills are roaming.
FGC
Lonesome pine calling me home!
Instrumental refrain

Someday soon, I'm gonna travel
FGC
Back to the land that I love best.

In the stillness of the mountains,
FGC
I will find sweet peace and rest!

CG
Lonesome pine, I can hear you calling;
FGC
Calling m--e back to my home;
DmAm
Where the fox and hounds through the hills are roaming.

Lonesome pine calling me home!
