In the Pines

It's Ralph and Carter, the Stanley Brothers And here they are, "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 9:00 In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines Lord, I shiver when the cold wind blows Little girl, little girl, what have I done 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 Lord, I shiver when the cold wind blows I asked my captain for the time of day He said he'd thrown 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 Lord, I shiver when the cold wind blows
