The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line
The engine passed six o'clock
And cab passed by at nine

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows

I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his old watch away
A long steel ram and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home

* Refrain

Little girl, little girl
What have I do that makes you treat me so ?
You caused me to weep you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home

* Refrain
