IN THE PINES
Recorded by Bill Monroe
Words and music by Jimmie Davis and Clayton McMichen
nd Fret/KEY: E/PLAY: D
Intro: D Whooee-whoo-{A7} whoo-hoo-{D} hoo!
D The longest D7 train I G ever D saw
Went down that A7 Georgia D line
The engine D7 passed at G six o'{D} clock
And the cab passed A7 by at D nine.
Refrain:
D In the pines, in the D7 pines
Where the G sun never D shines
And we shiver when the A7 cold wind D blows;
D Whooee-whoo-{D7} hoo; G whoo-hoo-{D} hoo
Whoee-whoo-{A7} whoo hoo-{D} 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:
