Three Lonesome Trees

Three lonesome trees stand proud on Latrigg Fell

It's a place I love and know so very well

They've stood there all this time

Through wind and rain and shine

Those three lonesome trees stand proud on Latrigg Fell

Farmers till the land and plant their crops

And shepherds walk their sheep and herd their flocks

But when all was said and done

The crops didn't get enough sun

But the three lonesome trees stood proud on Latrigg Fell

Brownies, Cubs and Scouts have pitched their tents

To learn and play and sing at group events

But when they'd had their fill

And the night went deadly still

Those three lonesome trees stood proud on Latrigg Fell

One winter's day, Storm Desmond came to town

When gale took trees and the rain kept pouring down

Some say we have God to thank

As the rivers burst their banks

But the three lonesome trees stood proud on Latrigg Fell

Three lonesome trees stand proud on Latrigg Fell

It's a place I love and know so very well

They've stood there all this time

Through wind and rain and shine

Those three lonesome trees stand proud on Latrigg Fell

Yes, those three lonesome trees stand proud on Latrigg Fell
