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 shines,
I shivered 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 shines
I will shiver the whole night through."
Tell me where did you get those high heeled shoes
And the dress you wear so fine?
"I got my shoes from a railroad man
And my dress from a driver in the mines."
"My daddy he was a railroad man
Killed a mile and a half from town.
His head, it was found in the driving wheel
And his body has never been found."
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.
The longest train I ever did see
Was a hundred coaches long.
The only girl I ever did love
Was on that train and gone.
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 shines,
I shivered the whole night through."
