In The Pines

Little girl, little girl what have I done
To make you treat me so
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan
You have caused me to leave my home
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver when the cold winds blow
My daddy was a railroad man
Drove a mile and a half uptown
His head was found 'neath the driving wheel
His body has never been found
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver when the cold winds blow
The longest train I ever saw
Was down that northern line
The engine passed by at ten o'clock
The cab passed by at nine
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver when the cold winds blow
Little girl, little girl what have I done
To make you treat me so
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan
You have caused me to leave my home
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver when the cold winds blow
