In The Pines

In The Pines - Bill Monroe

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

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

Who who hoo hoo hoo who who hoo hoo hoo

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

In the pines in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And we shiver when the cold wind blows

Who who hoo hoo hoo who who hoo hoo hoo
