Black girl, black Girl, dont lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night? In the pines, In the pines, Where the sun never shine I'd shiver the whole night through.
My father was a Railroad man Killed a mile and a half from town His head, was found 'neath driver's wheel And his body has never been found.
You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan You caused me to leave my home
Black girl, black girl, where will you go Im going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines I'd shiver the whole night through
Longest train I ever saw Was a hundred coaches long And the only boy I ever loved Is 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'd shiver the whole night through
