shin-es,
6   6  6    6    5    5   5b   -4    5
And we shiv-ered when the cold winds blow.

Hoo  hoo hoo  hoo Hoo hoo   hoo

The Longest train I ever saw
went down the Georgia Line.
The engine passed at six o'clock
and the cab passed by at nine.

Little girl, little girl, what have I done,
That makes you treat me so.
You've caused me to weep you've caused me to mourn,
You've caused me to leave my home.

I asked my captain for the time of day,
He said he throwed his watch away.
It's a long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home.

Leadbelly's first version of the lyrics:

Black girl black girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
(come on tell me baby)
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
I'll shiver the whole night through

Black girl black girl, where will you go,
I'm going where the cold wind blows.
(where's that at baby?)
In the pines, in the pines,Where the sun don't ever shine,
I will shiver the whole night through.

Black girl, black girl don't you lie to me,
tell me where did you sleep last night?
(come on and tell me something about it)
In the pines, in the pines,Where the sun don't ever shine,
I will shiver the whole night through.
(shiver for me now)

(what happened down there?)
My husband was a railroad man
Still a mile and a half from here.
(what happened to him?)
His head was found in the driving wheel,
and his body heaven never been found.

black girl black ,where will you go?
im going where the cold wind blows
you call me the east and you call me the moon
you caused me to weep and mourn.
