In the Pines

The longest train I ever saw
Took my baby down the Georgia line
The engine passed at six o' clock
And the last cab passed at nine
I said "my girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?"

She said she was lost in the pines
Where the Sun never shines
And shivered the whole night through

So tell me where did you get that dress my dear
And those shoes that are so fine?
From a man in the mines who sleeps in the pines
Girl, how could you be so cold?

My girl, my girl what have I done
That made you treat me so?
You've caused me to weep
You've caused me to mourn
Now it's time that you leave my home

Go to the pines, to the pines
Where the Sun never shines
And you shiver as the cold wind moans

I should've known you'd lie
For it did show in your eyes
Yes in your eyes
Little girl, little girl where will you go?
Go on back to where the cold wind moans

In the pines, in the pines
Where the Sun never shines
And you shiver as the cold wind moans

The longest train I ever saw
Was 19 halteres long
The only girl I ever loved
Got on that train
And she's gone, gone, long gone
