Driftwood: "Here you go."

Oh, they cut down that old pine tree,
And they hauled it away to the mill.
They made a coffin of pine for that sweetheart of mine;
Cut down that old pine tree.

Yes, they cut down that old pine tree,
And they hauled it away to the mill.
They made a coffin of pine for that sweetheart of mine
When they cut down that old pine tree.

Driftwood: "Thank you, George, very much. Thank you."
