In The Pines Traditional - sung by Lead Belly True (E)love, true (E7)love, don't (A)lie to (G)me TeIl me, (B)where did you sleep last (E)night? In the (E)pines, in the (E7)pines where the (A)sun never (G)shines And I (B)shivered with a cold deadly (E)cold Tell me, where did you get them pretty little shoes And the dress you wear so fine? I got my shoes from a railroad man Got my dress from a driver in the mine I wish to the Lord I'd-a never been born Or died when I was young. I never would have kissed your sweet, sweet lips Nor heard your rattling tongue. The longest train I ever did ride Was a hundred coaches long. The only woman I ever did love She's on that train and gone Them long steel rails and them short crossties Ain't got no end I know. On these long steel rails and short crossties I'm tramping my way back home. Longest old train in this whole wide world Comes around Joe Brown's coal mine. Headlight comes 'round when the sun comes up The caboose when the sun goes down. Yes, my husband was a railroad man Was the best in this high lonesome world The only thing that he did that was wrong Was to miss just a-one little curve My husband was a railroad man Killed a mile and a half from town I found his head in an engine wheel But his body could never be found True love, true love, tell me where will you go? I'm gonna go where the cold winds blow I'm gonna weep, gonna cry, gonna moan, gonna sigh Gonna dance in my good-time clothes   alles-uke.de
