In The Pines

IN THE PINES
Recorded by Bill Monroe
Words and music by Jimmie Davis and Clayton McMichen

Intro: [D] Whooee-whoo-[A7] whoo-hoo-[D] hoo!

[1] The longest [1_7] train I [4] ever [1] saw
Went down that [5_7] Georgia [1] line
The engine [1_7] passed at [4] six o'[1] clock
And the cab passed [5_7] 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.
