Little girl, little 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
Will shiver the whole night through
My daddy was a railroad man
Killed a mile and a half from here
His head, was found, in a driver's wheel
His body was never found
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
Will shiver the whole night through
You've caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn
You caused me to lose my home
Little girl, little girl, where'd you sleep last night?
Not even your mother knows
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
Will shiver when the cold winds blow
