hear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness of the night.

Whisperin' pine, whisperin' pine, you are the one who knows.

My darlin's gone, oh, she's gone, and I need your sympathy,

whisperin' pines, send my baby back to me.

hear their barking call of love for the happiness they've found.

send a message by the wind, because I love her so.
