In th pines, in th pines
Where th sun never shines
And you shivered when the cold wind blows

You've made me weep
You've made me mourn
You forget that I kept you warm

In th pines, in th pines
Where th sun never shines
And you shivered when the cold wind blows

Little girl, little girl
Where'd you stay last night
Not even your Mamma knows

Where th sun never shines
And I shivered when the cold wind blowed

You broke my heart
You stoled my love
And you left me like a lonesome dove

In th pines, in th pines
Where the sun never shines
An' you shivered when the cold winds blow
