Bill Monroe In The Pines
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.
Refrain:
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows;
Whooee-whoo-hoo; whoo-hoo-hoo
Whoee-whoo-whoo hoo-hoo!
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
