Bluegrass Pines

[Verse 1: Little Feat]

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines

Where the wide wide river of whiskey winds

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines

Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes

[Chorus: Little Feat, All]

Wanted to tell you ‘bout a friend of mine

One of, you could call it, the roving kind

Life seems short when you live forever

Wasn’t so smart but pretty damn clever

The Whisky River in the Bluegrass Pines

[Verse 2: Little Feat, All]

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines

Where the wide widе river of whiskey winds

Deep away in the Bluеgrass Pines

Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes

[Chorus: Little Feat, All]

We both belonged to the same damn chain gang

Me & my late friend Lash LaRue

Wait ‘til morning when the tide rolls out

For things we’d rather not talk about

The Whisky River in the Bluegrass Pines

[Verse 2: Little Feat, All]

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines

Where the wide wide river of whiskey winds

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines

Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes

[Bridge: Little Feat, All]

Deep in the Bluegrass Forest at Midnight

Moon turned down as soft as candlelight

Mandolins stutter and banjos frail

While the last electric stars grow pale

The patter of twilight guitars creep

From under the bracken where they sleep

Tones of strings a-tuning

Full choir of bullfrogs crooning

[Break: All]

Deep away

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines

Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes

[Chorus: Little Feat, All]

Set out on gator back from Lake Diane

A twelve-string banjo in my left hand

Busted up seven along the way

Fives’s all I got left to play

Days gone by out on the run

What little good or harm we done

Those who died, the rest still dyin’

By the Whiskey river in the Bluegrass Pines

[Verse 3: Little Feat, All]

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines (Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines)

Glory in the territorycemetery chimes

Been on the wagon ninety-nine years

Make it one more, you owe me a beer

[Outro: Little Feat, All]

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines

Where the wide wide river of whiskey winds

Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines

Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes
