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 don't ever shine,
I will 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 don't ever shine,
I will shiver the whole night through.

black girl, black girl, don't you lie to me,
tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun don't ever shine,
I will shiver the whole night through.

My husband was a hard working man,
Still a mile and a half from here.
His head was found in the driving wheel,
and his body never never been found.

black girl, black girl, don't you lie to me,
tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun don't ever shine,
I will shiver the whole night through.
