In The Pines Lyrics

Grateful Dead In The Pines

Little girl, little girl what have I done To make you treat me so You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan You have caused me to leave my home

Chorus In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines I shiver when the cold winds blow

My daddy was a railroad man Drove a mile and a half uptown His head was found 'neath the driving wheel His body has never been found

[chorus]

The longest train I ever saw Was down that northern line The engine passed by at ten o'clock The cab passed by at nine

[chorus]

Little girl, little girl what have I done To make you treat me so You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan You have caused me to leave my home

[chorus]

Thanks to Matt Schofield for two earlier versions. First, by the Black Mountain Boys: The longest train that ever I saw Went down the Georgia line The engine passed at six o'clock And the cab it passed at nine

Chorus In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines And you shiver when the cold wind blows

I asked my captain for the time of day He (said?) throwed his watch away It's a long steel rail and a short cross tie I'm on my way back home

[Chorus]

Little girl, little girl, what have I done That makes you treat me so You caused me to weep, and caused me to mourn You caused me to leave my home

[Chorus]
