In the Pines

Young girl, young girl, where were you last night
Not even your mother knows
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I shivered the whole night through
Young girl, young girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you get that dress
From a man in the pines, where the sun never shines
I shivered the whole night through

Please don't follow me anymore
Don't even knock upon my door
I'm going down to the lonesome pines
I'll be leaving you behind
Please don't follow me anymore
Don't even knock upon my door
I'm going down to the lonesome pines
I'll be leaving you behind

The prettiest girl that I ever seen
Lives down in the Southern pines
And the only girl that I ever loved
I knew she'd never be mine
I'm going away to another's arms
He'll never do me any harm
I'm leaving home with the moonlight's glow
To a love I know I will find

Please don't follow me anymore
Don't even knock upon my door
I'm going down to the lonesome pines
I'll be leaving you behind
Please don't follow me anymore
Don't even knock upon my door
I'm going down to the lonesome pines
I'll be leaving you behind

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I shivered the whole night through
