In the Pines lyrics

The longest train I every saw,

Went down that Georgia line.

The engine passed at six o’clock

And the cab went by at nine.

In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines,

And I shivered when the cold winds blow.

Little girl, little girl, don’t lie to me,

Tell me, where’d you stay last night?

I stayed in the pines where the sun never shines

And I shivered when the cold winds blow.

I asked my captain for the time of day,

He said he throwed his watch away.

It’s a long steel rail and a short cross ties,

I’m on my way back home.

The train run about a mile from town

And it knocked my fair girl down

Her hair was found in a driver’s wheel

And her body has never been found.
