[Verse 1]
There's a cabin in the pines, hidden in the wild wood
Wrapped in honeysuckle vines
Where a mellow moon is always shining
Shining on my cabin in the pines, oh babe

[Verse 2]
There's a sweetheart in the pines writing me a letter
I can read between the lines, baby
I can see she longs for my returning, babe
To my little cabin in the pines

[Bridge]
Oh, whispering breeze, whispering to my love
Tell her I'll come back some day, (scat)
I'm blue and broken-hearted too
Sorry that I went away, oh babe

[Verse 3]
There's a cabin in the pines meant to be a love nest
Down among the Carolines
Is it any wonder I'm so lonely, babe
Longing for my cabin in the pines?
