An old darkey singin’ in de woods of pin,
A-workin de trees fer turpentine;
“My luck, hit grows with de piney wood
An’ while pines grow my luck stays good—
Food in de kitchen and times ain’t hard,
When a man works out in God’s front yard.”
When you hear de big, ole pine trees moan
Der’s a fire in de woods dat makes dem groan.
De little fire kills de li’l baby trees
De grass and de birds, but no ticks or fleas;
De big fires kill de big trees too—
We gotta stop fires, whatever we do!!!
chorus
Pay-day’s comin’ while de pine trees grow,
Hit’s de surest thing dat a man can know.
When de old piney wood ain’ heah no more
De wolf am a-comin’ right in de door
