INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS AS INTRO
[A] [A7] [D] [A] [E7] [A]
[A]Little Girl, Little [A7]Girl where'd you [D]sleep last [A]night
What makes you [E7]tremble [A]so
I stayed in the [A7]pines where the [D]sun never [A]shines
I shivered when the [E]cold wind [A]blowed [A] [E] [A]
[A]The longest [A7]train I [D]ever [A]saw
Went down that [E7]Georgia [A]line
The engine [A7]passed at [D]six o'[A]clock
The caboose rolled [E7]by at [A]nine.
{start_of_chorus}
[A]In the pines, in the [A7]pines
Where the [D]sun never [A]shines
And we shiver when the [E7]cold wind [A]blows;
{end_of_chorus}
CHORUS - Vocal, then each lead instrument
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.
CHORUS - Vocal, then each lead instrument
Little girl, little girl, what have I done
That makes you treat me so?
You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my home.
CHORUS - Vocal twice to end
