In The Pines
(Folk song; as sung by Lead Belly)

      F7                      Bb7    Ab
Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me.
        C7                       F7
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
                                       Bb7       Ab
"In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
        C7                     F7
I would shiver the whole night through."

      F7                      Bb7      Ab
Black girl, black girl, where will you go?
     C7                        F7
"I'm going where the cold wind blows.
       F7                             Bb7       Ab
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
        C7                     F7
I would shiver the whole night through."

      F7                      Bb7    Ab
Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me.
        C7                       F7
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
        F7                             Bb7       Ab
"In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
        C7                     F7
I would shiver the whole night through."

"My husband was a railroad man,
         C7                   F7
killed a mile and a half from here.
    F7                  Bb7      Ab
His head was found in a driver's wheel
        C7                    F7
and his body hasn't ever been found."

"I'm going where the cold wind blows.
    F7                         Bb7          Ab
You caused me to weep, and you caused me to moan.
    C7                    F7
You caused me to leave my home."
