The longest train I ever saw

Went down that Georgia line

The engine went by at six o'clock

And the cab went by at nine



In the pines

In the pines

The sun never shines

And we shiver

When the north wind blows



Well I asked the captain

For the time of day

He said he

Threw his watch away



A long steel rail

And a short cross tie

And I'm on my

Way back home



In the pines

In the pines

The sun never shines

And we shiver

When the north wind blows



Little girl

Little girl

What have I done

That makes you treat me this way

Well you have caused

Me to weep

You caused me to moan

You caused me to leave my home



In the pines

In the pines

The sun never shines

And we shiver

When the north wind blows
