In The Pines

Cat. #0094 (MFH #288) - As sung by Mr. Ed Stilley, Eureka Springs, Arkansas on May 1, 1958

VERSE 1
In th pines, in th pines
Where th sun never shines
And they shiver when the cold wind blows

VERSE 2
Lettle girl, lettle girl
What have I done
That you would treat me so bitter and cold

VERSE 3
You caused me to weep
You caused me to mourn
And you caused me to leave my home

VERSE 4
In th pines, in th pines
Where th sun never shines
And they shiver when th cold wind blows

VERSE 5
Little girl, lettle girl
Where did you stay last night
Not even your Mother knows

VERSE 6
I stayed in th pines
Where th sun never shines
And they shiver when th cold wind blows

VERSE 7
Th longest train
I ever saw
Was on that Mason line

VERSE 8
The engine passed
About half 'bout six
And th caboose passed at nine

VERSE 9
In th pines, in th pines
Where th sun never shines
And they shiver when th cold wind blows

VERSE 10
Look down, look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on
