IN THE PINES TRADITIONAL In the pines,in the pines, where the sun never shines, And you shiver when the cold wind blows. The longest train I ever saw, went down that Georgia line. The engine passed at six o clock, and the cab passed by at nine. ( REPEAT FIRST LINE ) I asked my captain for the time of day, he said he throwed his watch away. A long steel rail and a short cross tie, I'm on my way back home. ( REPEAT FIRST LINE ) Little girl, little girl, what have I done, that makes you treat me so? You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan, you caused me to leave my home. ( REPEAT FIRST LINE ) Little girl, little girl, why did you leave, and break my heart in two? You left me here to weep and moan, you left me alone and blue. ( REPEAT FIRST LINE ) If I'd a listened to what Mama said, then I would not be here today. Well the same old train that brought me here, will soon take me away. ( REPEAT FIRST LINE )
