the Clever Few - Peace in the Pines lyrics

[Verse 1] Put me to peace in the pines Don’t bother with those white and yellow lines Take me to the land where I was dealt my hand Put me to peace in the pines Lay me down beside my mother and my brother And to the left of my old man Just an old pine box, 72 inches underneath that all black sand [Chorus] So take this body home, my soul has gone away To a better place And don’t let ’em see me, ’cause you know I will be cryin’ And I’d hate to see my baby’s face And I’d hate to see my baby’s face [Verse 2] Roll me away in a horse drawn wagon So I can feel the bumps in the road And make sure ol’ Blue is there with his ol’ tail waggin’ He’ll go home when I go cold And tell my buddies that I’ll see them when I see them And that I had a hell of a time I’ll never forget all the times that we wasted Trying to make the end of that story rhyme [Chorus] So take this body home, my soul has gone away To a better place And don’t let ’em see me, ’cause you know I will be cryin’ And I’d hate to see my baby’s face And I’d hate to see my baby’s face [Outro] Put me to peace in the pines Don’t bother with those white and yellow lines
