Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me \r\nTell me where did you sleep last night \r\nIn the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines \r\n\r\nI will shiver the whole night through.\r\nBlack girl, black girl, where will you go? \r\nI'm going where the cold wind blows \r\nIn the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines \r\n\r\nI will shiver the whole night through.\r\nBlack girl, black girl, don't lie to me \r\nTell me where did you sleep last night \r\nIn the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines \r\n\r\nI will shiver the whole night through.\r\nMy husband was a railroad man \r\nkilled a mile and a half from here \r\nHis head was found in a driver's wheel \r\n\r\nAnd his body haven't never been found.\r\nBlack girl, black girl, where will you go? \r\n\r\nI'm going where the cold wind blows \r\nYou caused me to weep and you caused me to moan \r\nYou caused me to leave my home.<\/pre>\n

Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me \r\ntell me where did you sleep last night \r\nIn the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines \r\nI shivered the whole night through \r\n\r\nMy father was a railroad man \r\nkilled a mile-and-a-half from town \r\nHis head was found neath the driver's wheel \r\nhis body has never been found \r\n\r\nYou caused me to weep, you caused me to moan \r\nyou caused me to leave my home \r\nBlack girl, black girl, where will you go \r\nI'll go where the cold winds moan \r\n\r\nIn the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines \r\nI'll shiver the whole night through \r\nThe longest train I ever saw was a hundred coaches long \r\nAnd the only boy I ever loved is on that train and gone. \r\n\r\nBlack girl, black girl, don't lie to me \r\ntell me where did you sleep last night \r\nIn the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines \r\nI shivered the whole night through<\/pre>\n
“In the Pines” by Bill Monroe (1952)<\/h3>\n
The Best of Bill Monroe<\/em> (MCA 1999).<\/h4>\n
The longest train I ever saw\r\n Went down that Georgia line\r\n The engine passed at six o'clock\r\n And the cab passed by at nine\r\n\r\nIn the pines, in the pines\r\n Where the sun never shines\r\n And we shiver when the cold wind blows\r\n Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo\r\n\r\nI asked my captain for the time of day\r\n He said he throwed his watch away\r\n A long steel rail and a short cross tie\r\n I'm on my way back home\r\n\r\nIn the pines, in the pines\r\n Where the sun never shines\r\n And we shiver when the cold wind blows\r\n Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo\r\n\r\nLittle girl, little girl, what have I done\r\n That makes you treat me so?\r\n You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn\r\n You caused me to leave my home\r\n\r\nIn the pines, in the pines\r\n Where the sun never shines\r\n And we shiver when the cold wind blows\r\n Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo<\/pre>\n
