Traditional song as performed by the late great Long John Baldry
Capo 3
Intro
x2
Black girl, black Girl, donât you lie to me
where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, In the pines, Where the sun never shines
and I shivered the whole night through.
Black girl, Come on Maggie girl, oh where will you go
Im going where the cold wind blows
You called me to weep and you called me to moan
You called me to leave my home
My Daddy was a Railroad man
Killed a mile and a half from here
His head, was found, In a drivers wheel
And his body hasn t never been found.
Ohhhh, my daddy ainât never been found
Black girl, black Girl, donât you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, In the pines, Where the sun never shines
and I shivered the whole night through.
Black girl, black Girl, donât you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, In the pines, Where the sun never shines
and I shivered the whole night through.
Black girl, black Girl, donât you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, In the pines, Where the sun never shines
and I shivered the whole night through.
