		CIn the pines,in the pines, where Fthe sun nCever shines,
		And you shiver when the cold wGind blows.C  
		The loCngest train I ever sFaw, wCent down that GeorgiGa line.C  
		The enCgine passed at six o Fclock, Cand the cab paGssed by at nine.C  
		( REPEAT FIRST LINE )
		I askeCd my captain for the time oFf day, hCe said he throweGd his watch away.C  
		A long Csteel rail and a short Fcross tie, IC'm on my Gway back home.C  
        ( REPEAT FIRST LINE )
		CLittle girl, little girl, what Fhave I Cdone, that Gmakes you treat me Cso?
		CYou caused me to weep, you Fcaused me to Cmoan, Gyou caused me to leave my Chome.
		( REPEAT FIRST LINE )
		CLittle girl, little girl, why Fdid you Cleave, and Gbreak my heart in Ctwo?
		CYou left me here to Fweep and Cmoan, you Gleft me alone and Cblue.
		( REPEAT FIRST LINE )
		If I'd a listened to what Mama said, then I would not be here today.
		Well the same old train that brought me here, will soon take me away.
