lyrics

in the pines

the longest train I ever done seen
came down the Georgia Line.
the engine passed at five o'clock,
the cab passed by at nine.
it took my love away from me,
way down to Brown's coal mine.
when i sit and watch that train go past
i hang my head and cry

black girl, black girl don't you lie to me
tell me, where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
and shivered the whole night through.

the train run off the track last night,
my love has not been seen.
ain't none who on that train that night
who heard my love Corrine.

black girl, black girl don't you lie to me
tell me, where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
and shivered the whole night through.

little girl, little girl, what have i done
that makes you treat me this way?
you caused me to weep and you caused me to moan,
you made me leave my home.

black girl, black girl don't you lie to me
tell me, where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
and shivered the whole night through.

black girl, black girl don't you lie to me
tell me, where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
and shivered the whole night through.
