In the Pines

The longest train I ever saw Went down that Georgia line The engine went by at six o'clock And the cab went by at nine In the pines In the pines The sun never shines And we shiver When the north wind blows Well I asked the captain For the time of day He said he Threw his watch away A long steel rail And a short cross tie And I'm on my Way back home In the pines In the pines The sun never shines And we shiver When the north wind blows Little girl Little girl What have I done That makes you treat me this way Well you have caused Me to weep You caused me to moan You caused me to leave my home In the pines In the pines The sun never shines And we shiver When the north wind blows
