|
Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me |
|
Where did you sleep last night? |
|
In the pines, in the pines |
|
Where the sun never shines |
|
I shivered the whole night through |
|
My daddy was a railway man |
|
Died a mile and a half from town |
|
His head was found in a driver wheel |
|
His body has never been found |
|
I wish to my Lord I had never seen your face |
|
Heard your lying tongue |
|
You cause me to weep and you cause me to moan |
|
I'm sorry you ever where born |
|
My daddy's ma was an engineer |
|
My sister drove a hack van |
|
I worked out in the engine yard |
|
All day I balled the jack |
|
Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me |
|
Tell me where, where did you sleep last night? |
|
In the pines, in the pines |
|
Where the sun never shines |
|
I shivered the whole night through |
