Black girl, black 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
Black girl, black girl
Where'd you get that dress
Tell me where'd you get those shoes so fine
I got the dress from a railroad man
And the shoes from the man in the mine
My daddy was a railroad man
Died a mile and a half from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
And his body has never been found
Black girl, black girl
Tell me where will you go
I'm going where the cold winds blow
To the pines, to the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shivered the whole night through
Black girl, black girl
Don't lie to me
