Little girl, little girl what have I done
To make you treat me so
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan
You have caused me to leave my home
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold winds blow
The longest train I ever saw
Was comin down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock
The cab went by at nine
It's a long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold winds blow
My daddy was a railroad man
Drove a mile and a half uptown
His head was found 'neath the driving wheel
His body has never been found
Little girl, little girl what have I done
To make you treat me so
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan
You have caused me to leave my home
To make you treat me so
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan
You have caused me to leave my home
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold winds blow
The longest train I ever saw
Was comin down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock
The cab went by at nine
It's a long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold winds blow
My daddy was a railroad man
Drove a mile and a half uptown
His head was found 'neath the driving wheel
His body has never been found
Little girl, little girl what have I done
To make you treat me so
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan
You have caused me to leave my home
