In The Pines (G)
I IV I
The longest train I ever saw
I V I
Went down that Georgia line
I IV I
The engine passed at six o'clock
I V I
And the cab passed by at nine
(Chorus)
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away
A long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home
Little girl, little girl, what have I done
That makes you treat me so
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home
My father was an engineer
Died a mile out of town
His head was found in the driving gear
But his body was never found
