The Old Pine Tree - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE OLD PINE TREE. 
Oh! darkies, now I'm gwine to sing, De truth to you I'll tell, Oh happy days dat I hah seen Wid my dear Nancy Bell. Oh! I wish dat I was back again 'Way down in Tennessee, Wid my dear Nancy by my side, Beneath de old pine tree. 
Chorus, Tis many a night since first we met, 'Neath dat old piue tree; An' dar we told our tales of lub, How happy we shall he. 
My lub has left me long ago, Whar she is no one can tell; Au' I am nearly crazy now For my dear Nancy Bell. But I dreamt last night, when all was still, Dat she'd come back to me, An' I would yet see happy days Beneath de old pine tree -Chorus. 
I quite forgot I was so old, It seems to me a dream, Dat three score years hab past and gone Since I was seventeen. But eb'rything is right at last, a An' Nancy is true to me, An' when we die, oh! let us rest Beneath de old pine tree -Chorus.
