GA - Georgia

In the Pines - Traditional

The longest train I ever saw

Went down that Georgia line

The engine passed at six o'clock

And the cab passed by at nine

Black girl black girl don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night?

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

I'll shiver the whole night through

My husband was a railroad man

Killed a mile and a half from town

His head was bound in a driver's wheel

And his body, heaven'll never be found

Black girl black girl, where will you go?

I'm going where the chilly winds blow

You caused me to weep, and you caused me to mourn

You caused me to leave my home

I asked my captain for the time of day

He said he throw'd his watch away

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

I'll shiver the whole night through
