And pines that reach to touch the sky. There’ll be a laughing mountain stream. Where I can wade along and dream. The many cares that plague me so. Can never follow where I go. I’ll see God’s creatures all about. And I’ll try to catch that rainbow trout. For just one long and happy day. I’ll put all care and woes away. I’ll see the sun sink in the west. And watch the birds that go to rest. Then I will have to go once more. To the some old world I had before. But I’ll go back another day. To catch the one that got away.
