Black Girl

Black girl, black girl

Don't you lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night?

'Neath the pines, 'neath the pines

Where the sun never shines

And I shivered in the cold, deadly cold

Her husband was a railroad man

He died a half mile out of town

His head was found 'neath the driving wheel

But his body was never, ever found

Black girl, black girl

Don't you lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night?

'Neath the pines, 'neath the pines

Where the sun never shines

And I shivered in the cold, deadly cold*

And I shivered the whole night through"
