In the Pines

Little girl, little girl what have I done

To make you treat me so

You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan

You have caused me to leave my home

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

I shiver when the cold winds blow

My daddy was a railroad man

Drove a mile and a half uptown

His head was found 'neath the driving wheel

His body has never been found

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

I shiver when the cold winds blow

The longest train I ever saw

Was down that northern line

The engine passed by at ten o'clock

The cab passed by at nine

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

I shiver when the cold winds blow

Little girl, little girl what have I done

To make you treat me so

You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan

You have caused me to leave my home

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

I shiver when the cold winds blow

The longest train that ever I saw

Went down the Georgia line

The engine passed at six o'clock

And the cab it passed at nine

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold wind blows

I asked my captain for the time of day

He (said?) throwed his watch away

It's a long steel rail and a short cross tie

I'm on my way back home

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

I shiver when the cold winds blow

Little girl, little girl, what have I done

That makes you treat me so

You caused me to weep, and caused me to mourn

You caused me to leave my home

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

I shiver when the cold winds blow
