Standard (EADGBE)

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, and the cab passed by at nine.

( REPEAT FIRST LINE )

I asked my captain for the time of day, he said he throwed his watch away.

A long steel rail and a short cross tie, I'm on my way back home.

( REPEAT FIRST LINE )

Little girl, little girl, what have I done, that makes you treat me so?

You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan, you caused me to leave my home.

( REPEAT FIRST LINE )

Little girl, little girl, why did you leave, and break my heart in two?

You left me here to weep and moan, you left me alone and blue.

( REPEAT FIRST LINE )

If I'd a listened to what Mama said, then I would not be here today.

Well the same old train that brought me here, will soon take me away.
