(Traditional)



(True love, true love

Don't lie to me

Tell me where did you

Sleep last night?)



I slept in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And I shivered with the cold

Deadly cold.



(Tell me where did you

Get those pretty shoes

And the dress you wear

So fine?)



Well, I got me my shoes

From a railroad man

Got my dress from a driver

In the mine.



--- Instrumental ---



I wish that I had

Never been born

Or had died

When I was young.



Then I never would

Have kissed your sweet, sweet lips

Or had your

Ragging tongue.



(True love, true love

Don't lie to me

Tell me where did you

Sleep last night?)



I slept in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And I shivered with the cold

Deadly cold...
