In The Pines

by Bill Monroe

v.1
The longest train I ever saw went down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock, the cab it passed at nine
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Instr. Brk

v.2
I asked my captain for the time of day, he said he threw 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 you shiver when the cold winds blow

Instr. Brk

v.3
Little girl, little girl, what have I done that makes you treat me so
You cause me to weep, you cause me to moan, you caused me to leave my home
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold winds blow
