                My girl,  my girl    don't    lie to me

                Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
                In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
                I would shiver the whole night through

                My girl, my girl, where will you go?
                I'm going where the cold wind blows
                In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
                I would shiver the whole night through

                Her husband was a hard working man
                Just about a mile from here
                His head was found in a driving wheel
                But his body never was found

                My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
                Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
                In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
                I will shiver the whole night through
                                 *Solo*   (verse)

                My girl, my girl, where will you go?
                I'm going where the cold wind blows
                In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
                I would shiver the whole night through

                My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
                Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
                In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
                I will shiver the whole night through

                My girl, my girl, where will you go?
                I'm going where the cold wind blows
                In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
                I would shiver the whole night through...
