IN THE PINES

3/4 time, key of D

D D7 G D

The longest train I ever saw

D A D D

Went down that Georgia line

D D7 G D

The engine passed at six o'clock

D A D D

And the cab passed by at nine

chorus:

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And we shiver when the cold wind blows

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

Little girl, little girl, what have I done

That makes you treat me so

You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn

You caused me to leave my home

My father was an engineer

Died a mile out of town

His head was found in the driving gear

But his body was never found
