In the Pines

Black girl, Black girl, don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shine

I would shiver the whole night through

Black girl, Black girl, where will you go?

I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shine

I would shiver the whole night through

Black girl, Black girl, don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shine

I would shiver the whole night through

My husband was a railroad man

Killed a mile and a half from here

His head was found in a driver's wheel

And his body haven't ever been found

Black girl, Black girl, where will you go?

I'm going where the cold wind blows

You called me weak, and you called me the most

You called Rita, bring me my home
