about

A Lead Belly song with Bill Monroe harmonies mostly known via Nirvana.

lyrics

The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock
And the cab passed by at nine

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
To shiver when the cold wind blows

I asked my captain for the time
He said he did not know
A long steel rail and short cross ties
I'm on my long way home

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
To shiver when the cold wind blows

Little girl, little girl
What have I done to make you treat me so
For you I'll weep, for you I'll mourn
For you I've left my home

My girl, my 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
To shiver when the cold wind blows
