Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The longest train I ever saw went down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock, and the cab passed by at nine
In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
[Verse 2]
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
In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
[Verse 3]
Little girl, little girl what have I done that makes you treat me so
You caused me the weep, you caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my home
In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
