In the Pines

In The Pines The longest train I ever saw Went down that Georgia line The engine passed 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 wind blows 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, in the pines Where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold wind blows That makes you treat me so You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn You caused me to leave my home In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold wind blows Died a mile out of town His head was found in the driving gear But his body was never found
