In the Pines
(traditional)

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

In the pines, in the pines
where the sun never shines
and we shiver when the cold winds blows

Ooh ooh

I asked my captain for the time of day
he said he throwed his watch away
a long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home



In the pines…

Ooh ooh

Little boy, little boy, what have I done
that makes you treat me so?
you caused me to weep, you caused me to moan,
you caused me to leave my home.

In the pines..
Ooh ooh
