Leadbelly - In The Pines

rhythm in open G

Black girl, black girl, dont lie to me
tell me where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I was here all night through
black girl, black girl, where will you go?
im going where the cold wind blows
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I was here all night through
black girl, black girl, dont lie to me
tell me where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I was here all night through
my husband goes, a railroad man,
in a mile and a half from here
his head was found in a drivers wheel
and his body hasnt all been found

Instrumental 2x


black girl, black girl, where will you go?
im going where the cold wind blows
you caused me to weep and you caused me to morn
and you caused me to 
leave my home (letzter Satz mit ritardando)
