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 comes

I asked my captain for the time of day

He said he'd throw the 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 comes

Little girl, little girl 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, in the pines where the sun never shines

And we shiver when the cold wind comes
