lyrics

Young girl, young girl don't 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 through

Young girl, young girl where'd you get that dress
Tell me where'd you get those shoes, so fine
I got this dress from a railroad man
And the shoes from a man in the mine

My daddy was a railroad man
Died a mile and a half from here
His head was found in a dragon wheel
And his body has never been found

Young girl, young girl tell me where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
To the pines, to the pines where the sun never shines
And I'll shiver the whole night through
And I'll shiver the whole night through
