Tom Thomson gave Winnie Traynor a number of his sketches...she kept some of these wrapped in newspaper under her bed...at her home in Huntsville!
Lyrics
The Last Stand <br />
(all words and music by Don Charbonneau) <br />
<br />
I’ve been waiting all day <br />
for the light to fall <br />
on those pine trees standing there <br />
so green and so tall. <br />
I hope I get it right this time <br />
before it’s too late <br />
come winter those pine trees <br />
will be cut down and hauled into town. <br />
<br />
The memory of those pine trees <br />
is etched in my mind <br />
and will live there until the day that I die. <br />
The green and blue <br />
and the light on those trees <br />
is living in Huntsville <br />
in Winnie Traynor’s old house. <br />
I wish that chief ranger <br />
would put his gun down and let <br />
those wolves run wild and free <br />
and howl at the moon. <br />
<br />
I’ve been waiting all day <br />
for the light to fall <br />
on those pine trees standing there <br />
so green and so tall <br />
I hope I get it right this time <br />
before it’s too late <br />
come winter those pine trees <br />
will be cut down and hauled into town. <br />
The green and blue and the light on those trees <br />
is living in Huntsville <br />
in Winnie Traynor’s old house. <br />
The green and blue <br />
and the light on those trees <br />
is living in Huntsville <br />
in Winnie Traynor’s old house. <br />
