Black girl, black Girl, dont lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, In the pines, Where the sun never shine
I'd shiver the whole night through.

My father was a Railroad man
Killed a mile and a half from town
His head, was found 'neath driver's wheel
And his body has never been found.

You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my home

Black girl, black girl, where will you go
Im going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
I'd shiver the whole night through

Longest train I ever saw
Was a hundred coaches long
And the only boy I ever loved 
Is on that train and gone

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 never shines
I'd shiver the whole night through
