NO YESTERDAY

(song lyrics)

Tomorrow they come for the sweet Southern pines.
They're taking them away.
They'll clear and burn the land where the trees did stand,
And there's nothing that you can do.
No, there's nothing that you can do.

I am a man; I will die for this land.
You have no right to come here this way.
Still, the trees will fall and that will be all,
And there's nothing that you can do.
No, there's nothing that you can do.

Think it over, Think it over today
For tomorrow they'll be gone away.

It's so far away, it's so far away,
I can't see for the smoke in my eyes.
That smoke will rise through a hole in the sky,
And the sweet pines will burn the same way.
Those sweet pines will burn the same way.

Hand them over, hand them over they'll say,
I am taking your sweet pines away.

Think it over, there is no yesterday.
Everything happens today.
