The Little Box of Pine lyrics

"Dear Warden," wrote a mother,

"How much longer must I wait

Before you send my boy back home to me?"

She little knew the angels had unlocked the prison gate

And the one she loved had already been set free

The Warden read the letter, and then he sadly cried

As with these words a-followin', he replied:

"There's a little box of pine on the 7:29

Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold.

For a pardon from above has returned the one you loved

It is the saddest story ever has been told

For he's takin' his last ride, nevermore this world to roam

On his face there is a smile, he knows he's goin' home

There's a little box of pine on the 7:29

Bringin' back a lost sheep to the fold

The church was filled with music as the sermon did begin

His broken-hearted folks were gathered there

The preacher told the story of a boy who followed sin

The heavy load his loved ones had to bear

When he had preached his sermon, the organ softly played

As on their knees the congregation prayed

There's a little box of pine on the 7:29

Bringin' back a lost sheep to the fold

For a pardon from above has returned the one you love

It is the saddest story ever has been told
