| 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
|
| The longest train that ever I saw
|
| Went down the Georgia line
|
| The engine passed at six o’clock
|
| And the cab it passed at nine
|
| In the pines, in the pines
|
| Where the sun never shines
|
| And you shiver when the cold wind blows
|
| I asked my captain for the time of day
|
| He (said?) throwed his watch away
|
| It’s a long steel rail and a short cross tie
|
| I’m on my way back home
|
| 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
|
| That makes you treat me so
|
| You caused me to weep, and caused me to mourn
|
| You caused me to leave my home
|
| In the pines, in the pines
|
| Where the sun never shines
|
| I shiver when the cold winds blow |
