In The Pines
Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me Where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines I shivered the whole night through My daddy was a railway man Died a mile and a half from town His head was found in a driver wheel His body has never been found I wish to my Lord I had never seen your face Heard your lying tongue You cause me to weep and you cause me to moan I'm sorry you ever where born My daddy's ma was an engineer My sister drove a hack van I worked out in the engine yard All day I balled the jack Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me Tell me where, where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines I shivered the whole night through From Letras Mania
