[Verse 1]
C G
There's a path back in the mountains
F G C
To that one room house, where I was born.
Dm Am
Even now the memories linger
F G C
Of how Mama smiled so soft and warm.
[Chorus]
C G
Lonesome pine, I can hear you calling;
F G C
Calling m--e back to my home;
Dm Am
Where the fox and hounds through the hills are roaming.
F G C
Lonesome pine calling me home!
[Verse 2]
C G
It's been so long since I left that cabin
F G C
In search of wealth, fortune, and fame;
Dm Am
And late at night, when I'm alone and lonely,
F G C
I can hear my daddy call my name.
[Chorus]
C G
Lonesome pine, I can hear you calling;
F G C
Calling m--e back to my home;
Dm Am
Where the fox and hounds through the hills are roaming.
F G C
Lonesome pine calling me home!
[Instrumental refrain]
[Verse 3]
C G
Someday soon, I'm gonna travel
F G C
Back to the land that I love best.
Dm Am
In the stillness of the mountains,
F G C
I will find sweet peace and rest!
[Chorus]
C G
Lonesome pine, I can hear you calling;
F G C
Calling m--e back to my home;
Dm Am
Where the fox and hounds through the hills are roaming.
F G C
Lonesome pine calling me home!
