In the Pines

Dolly Parton · Heartsongs: Live from Home [Columbia] [1994]

(Alan Riggs)



In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold wind blows

My love, my love, what have I done to make you treat me so

You've caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn

You've caused me to leave my home.



In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold wind blows.



The longest train I ever saw

Went down that Georgia Line

The engine passed at six o'clock

The caboose went by at nine.



In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold wind blows.



I asked my captain for the time of day

He said he throwed his watch away.



In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold wind blows

Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo...
