In The Pines

Traditional – Verse and Chorus share the same melody

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.

(Chorus): In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines.
And you shiver when the cold wind blows. (Sing twice)

I asked my captain the time of day,
He said he throwed his watch away.
A long steel rail and a short cross tie,
And I'm on my way back home.
(Chorus)

Little girl, little girl, what have I done,
That makes you treat me so?
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn,
You caused me to leave my home.
(Chorus)
