In the Pines Songtext
von Lead Belly

Black girl, black girl, don′t lie to me
Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine
I will shiver the whole night through

Black girl, black girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine
I will shiver the whole night through


Black girl, black girl, don′t lie to me
Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine
I will shiver the whole night through

My husband was a railroad man
Killed a mile and a half from here
His head was found in a drivers wheel
And his body haven't ever been found

Black girl, black girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
You called me weak, and you called me the most
You called me to bring me my home
