Name of artist of old country song?

Question

This may be a long shot, the song is from the early 60's, something about whispering pines, web search turns up nothing. I remember hearing it when I was a kid, male singer, anyone know?

thanks for the answers everyone, I was thinking it was Eddy Arnold, no wonder I couldn't find it.

WHISPERING PINES

The [D] snowflakes fall, it's winter's call
And [G] time just seems to [D] fly
Is it the loneli-[G] ness in me
That [D] makes me [A7] wanta [D] cry
My heart is sad like a mourning dove
That's [G] lost it's mate in [D] flight
Hear the cooin' of his [G] lonely heart
Through the [D] stillness [A7] of the [D] night.

CHORUS
Whisperin' [A7] Pines, Whisperin' Pines
[G] Tell me is it [D] so
Whisperin' [A7] Pines, Whisperin' Pines
[G] You're the one whwho [D] knows
My darlin's [A7] gone, oh, she's gone
And I [G] need your sym-pa-[D] thy
Whisperin' Pines
[G] Send my [D] baby [A7] back to [D] me.

See that squirrel up in the tree
His mate there on the ground
Hear their barking call of love
>From the happiness they've found
Is my love still my love?
Oh, this I've gotta know
Send a message by the wind
Because I love her so.

If you are thinking of Whispering Pines by Johnny Horton, it is a real slow and melodious song.

There is a Johnny Horton CD...the 16 Greatest Hits I think it is called. It has that song on there.

Answer 4

Whispering Pines....Johnny Horton? Is that the one you are talking about?

On November 4, 1960, he suffered a car crash driving home to
Shreveport after a concert in Austin, TX. Horton was still alive after the wreck, but he died on the way to the hospital

Title Whispering Pines
Artist(s) Johnny Horton

(Howard Hausey)

The snowflakes fall as winter calls and time just seems to fly
Is it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry
My heart is sad like a morning dove that's lost its mate in flight
Hear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness of the night.

Whispering pines, whispering pines tell me it is so
Whispering pines whispering pines you're the one who knows
My darling's gone oh she's gone and I need your sympathy
Whispering pines send my baby back to me.

See that squirrel up in the tree his mate there on the ground
Hear their barking call of love of the happiness they found
Is my love still my love oh this I gotta know
Send a mesaage by the wind because I love her so.

Whispering pines, whispering pines tell me it is so
Whispering pines whispering pines you're the one who knows
My darling's gone oh she's gone and I need your sympathy
Whispering pines send my baby back to me...

You sure it's not "Whispering Hope"...by Charlie Pride?

I am a big fan of old-fashioned country/western...

Hank Williams
Tex Ritter
Johnny Cash
Red Sovine
Bill Monroe
Tammy Wynette
Loretta Lynn

etc., etc. :)

OK never mind, the folks above me got it right...it was worth a try. LOL
