lyrics

My girl, my girl, oh don't you lie to me.
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine,
I would shiver the whole night through.

My girl, my girl, oh where will you go?
I'm goin' where the cold wind blows.
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine,
I would shiver the whole night through.

Well, her husband, he was a hard-workin' man,
Just about a mile from here.
Mhm, his head was found in a drivin' wheel,
Mhm, but his body never was found.

My girl, my girl, oh don't you lie to me.
Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine,
I would shiver the whole night through.

My girl, my girl, oh where will you go?
I'm goin' where the cold wind blows.
Mhm, in the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine,
Mhm, I would shiver, oh... the whole night through.
