[Chorus]
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmmhmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

[Verse 1]
Black girl, black girl, don’t lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don’t shine
I shivered the whole night through

[Verse 2]
Black girl, black girl, where will you go?
To the place where the cold winds blow
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don’t shine
I shivered the whole night through

[Chorus]
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmmhmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

[Verse 3]
Black girl, black girl, your man is gone
Now you travel the road alone
And you raise that child all by yourself
Then the policeman shot him down
[Verse 4]
Black girl, black girl, where will you go?
To the place where the cold winds blow
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don’t shine
I shivered the whole night through

[Chorus]
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmmhmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmmhmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

[Verse 5]
Well I know that your heart is breaking
Into one million pieces
I know that your heart is breaking, I know
Where did you sleep last night?

[Outro]
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t shine
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t shine
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t shine
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t shine
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t shine
Where the sun don’t shine
Where the sun don’t shine
Where the sun
Shine no more
I don't want nobody to-to-to tell me
Shine no more
She says I don't want nobody to tell me
Shine no more
I don't want nobody to tell me
Shine no more
Shine no more
Shine no more
Shine no more
