Recorded by Bill Monroe Words and music by Jimmie Davis and Clayton McMichen CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: E/PLAY: D [D] In the pines, in the [D7] pines Where the [G] sun never [D] shines And you shiver when the [A7] cold wind [D] blows; [D] Whooee-whoo-[D7] hoo; [G] whoo-hoo-[D] hoo Whoee-whoo-[A7] whoo hoo-[D] hoo! Little girl, little girl, what have I done That’s made you treat me so? You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan You caused me to leave my home. [D] In the pines, in the [D7] pines Where the [G] sun never [D] shines And you shiver when the [A7] cold wind [D] blows; [D] Whooee-whoo-[D7] hoo; [G] whoo-hoo-[D] hoo Whoee-whoo-[A7] whoo hoo-[D] hoo! Instrumental Break [D] The longest [D7] train I [G] ever [D] saw Went down that [A7] Georgia [D] line The engine [D7] passed at [G] six o'[D] clock And the cab went by [A7] by at [D] nine. Refrain: [D] In the pines, in the [D7] pines Where the [G] sun never [D] shines And you shiver when the [A7] cold wind [D] blows; [D] Whooee-whoo-[D7] hoo; [G] whoo-hoo-[D] hoo Whoee-whoo-[A7] whoo hoo-[D] hoo! [The Carter Family also added this verse as did Leadbelly] Little girl, little girl,don’t tell me no lies Where did you spend last night? I stayed in the pine where the sun never shines and you shiver when the cold wind blows [Unknown verse needs reference] 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.
