Black girl, black girl tell me no lies
Where did you sleep last night?
In the pines in the pines, where the sun never shines
She shivered the whole night through
Her husband was a railroad man
Killed at the driving wheel
She found his body all crushed and torn
Under the twisted steel
It caused her to weep, it caused her to moan
It caused her to lose her mind
When she thought of how she'd lost her man
So brave so gentlе and kind

Now she wanders alone bеneath the trees
And is unhappy to mourn her man
And the cold wind comes to chill her bones
And the tree mist hangs over her hair

Black girl black girl where will you go
She'll go where the cold wind blows
In the pines in the pines, where the sun never shines
She shivers the whole night through

Black girl black girl where will you go
She'll go where the cold wind blows
In the pines in the pines, where the sun never shines
She shivers the whole night through
