In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows
Darlin', little darlin'
What have I done
That's made you treat me so
You cause me to weep
And you cause me to mourn
And you cause me to leave my home

If I'd a-listened
To what mama said
Then I would no be here today
But the same old train
That brought me here
Well, it soon gonna carry me away
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
Road down that Georgia night
The engine passed
At six o'clock
And the last car went by at nine
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows
