Red Pine's Yellow Blues by Willie-O

Willie-O's Comments; Who was it said "there are more species of pine under the sun than you could ever dream of..." Count 'em, nine species of pine. In one verse. Willow weep for me. I should warn you all that I'm going to start a fire under some more sap this afternoon... for I am, Willie-O.

I ent pining away fir yew, baby,
But I'd spruce myself up like a Colorado Blue
I'm nut aspen to be poplar,
Willow warn me where the coppices are
I wooden sitka dog on yew...

On the Ponderosa pining for a chance to loblolly
Got a stand of lodgepole baby you ain't never seen the like
I wooden pitch yew out, Norfolk around on yew
Red n Jack think I'm southern yellow, but I'm an eastern white guy too.
