75 feet tall and two feet across
I've seen nearly 500 years as they've all come and gone
I've seen the people change from Americans to whites
They started tapping my friends for their turpentine
My family got split for the big navy ships
And others went to Brooklyn to hold up that bridge

That time I didn't think I'd make it through
The whispering pine standing over you
That time I didn't think I'd make it through
But here I am standing next to you

I was 59 for the first colony
I was 228 when they said "the land of the free"
I was 317 when they all went to war
I saw brothers fighting brothers and what was it for
I was 356 when James Boyd came to town
He built Weymouth, he bought land, and the fire burned all around

That time I didn't think I'd make it through
The whispering pine standing over you
That time I didn't think I'd make it through
But here I am standing tall right next to you

Hurricane Hazel tried to blow me down
Then came Matthew, tried to make me drown
Then came the ice storms in '68 and '69
But through all of this stands the whispering pine

That time I didn't think I'd make it through
The whispering pine standing over you
That time I didn't think I'd make it through
But here I am standing tall, standing strong right next to you
