[Verse 1]
E E7 A G
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
B7 E
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
E E7
In the pines, in the pines
A G
Where the sun don't ever shine,
B7 E
I would shiver the whole night through.
[Verse 2]
E E7 A G
My girl, my girl, where will you go?
B7 E
I'm goin' where the cold wind blows.
E E7
In the pines, in the pines
A G
Where the sun don't ever shine,
B7 E
I would shiver the whole night through.

[Verse 4]
E E7 A G
My father was a hard workin' man
B7 E
Killed a mile and a half from here.
E E7 A G
His head was found in a driving wheel,
B7 E
And his body hasn't ever been found.
[Verse 5]
E E7 A G
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
B7 E
Tell me where did you sleep last night?

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine,
B7 E
I would shiver the whole night through.
