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
