The longest train I ever saw Went down that Georgia line. The engine went by at six o'clock And the cab went by at nine.
In the pines, in the pines The sun never shines And we shiver When the north wind blows.
Well, I asked the captain for the time of day, He said he threw his watch away. A long steel rail and a short cross tie And I'm on my way back home.
In the pines, in the pines The sun never shines And we shiver When the north wind blows.
Little girl, little girl, what have I done That makes you treat me this way? Well, you have caused me to weep, You caused me to moan, You caused me to leave my home.
In the pines, in the pines The sun never shines And we shiver When the north wind blows.
