lyrics

In The Pines - Traditional American folk song

The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock
Then the cab went by at nine

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't set or shine
You'll shiver when the cold wind blows
Mmm-mm mmm mmm-mm

My daddy was an engineer
He died 'bout a mile out of town
His head was seen in the engine gear
His body was never found

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't set or shine
You'll shiver when the cold wind blows
Mmm-mm mmm mmm-mm

I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he'd thrown his watch away
Those long steel rails, those short cross ties
I'm on my way back home

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't set or shine
You'll shiver when the cold wind blows
Mmm-mm mmm mmm-mm

My girl, my girl, don't ya lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my own home

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't set or shine
You'll shiver the whole night through
Mmm-mm mmm mmm-mm
