In The Pines

  My friend John Childress used to sing this song. I always thought Leadbelly wrote it. But there is much more to this song as you can learn in the link above.
 There are many different versions on Youtube by many different artists. Here is one by Dolly Parton with the more contemporary lyrics.


In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines


And you shiver when the cold wind blows

My love, my love, what have I done

To make you treat me so

You've caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn

You've caused me to leave my home



In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold wind blows



The longest train I ever saw

Went down that Georgia Line

The engine passed at six o'clock

The caboose went by at nine



In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold wind blows



I asked my captain for the time of day

He said he throwed his watch away



In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold wind blows

Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
