LYRICS:
Hey girl, hey girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night.
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And I shivered the whole night long.
Tell me where did you get them high-tone shoes
And the dress that you where so fine.
I got the shoes from an engineer
And the dress from a man down the line.
Her husband was a railroad man
Killed a mile and a half from town.
They found his head 'neath the driving wheels
But his body ain't never been found.
Repeat first verse
