Lead Belly

In the Pines

Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me

Tell me, where did you sleep last night?

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine

I will shiver the whole night through

Black girl, black girl, where will you go?

I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine

I will shiver the whole night through

Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me

Tell me, where did you sleep last night?

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine

I will shiver the whole night through

My husband was a railroad man

Killed a mile and a half from here

His head was found in a drivers wheel

And his body haven't ever been found

Black girl, black girl, where will you go?

I'm going where the cold wind blows

You called me weak, and you called me the most

You called me to bring me my home
