The River In The Pines - Joan Baez




The River In The Pines

Joan Baez

Oh, Mary was a maiden  
When the birds began to sing  
She was sweeter than the blooming rose  
So early in the spring  
Her thoughts were gay and happy  
And the morning gay and fine  
For her lover was a river boy  
From the river in the pines  
Now Charlie he got married  
To his Mary in the spring 
When the trees were budding early  
And the birds began to sing 

But early in the autumn 
When the fruit is in the wine  
I'll return to you my darling 
from the river in the pines  
It was early in the morning  
In Wisconsin dreary clime  
When he ruled the fatal rapids 
For that last and fatal time  


They found his body lying
on the rocky shore below 
Where the silent water ripple  
and the whispering cedars blow  
Now every raft of lumber  
That comes down the Chip away  
There's a lonely grave  
that's visited by drivers on their way  
They plant wild flowers upon it 
in the morning fair and fine  
It is the grave of two young lovers  
from the river in the pines




 아주, 아주 좋아하는 노래다. 십수년 전에 아버지가 가져오신 카세트 테이프를 통해 처음 들었고, 당시에는 참 청승맞다고만 느꼈었다. 그래도 그 무렵부터 올드팝..에 호감을 갖기 시작했던 것도 같다. 사이먼 가펑클, 비지스, 핑크플로이드, 딥 퍼플, 레드 제플린...
 아무튼, 오늘은 이 노래가 너무 듣고 싶었다. 그리고 누군가 나와 비슷한 상태(?)라면 같이 들어도 좋을 것이라 생각한다.
