Lyrics Black Girl - The Four Pennies

Black girl, black girl, tell me no lies,
Where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun never shines
She shivered the whole night through
Her husband was a railroad man,
Killed at the driving wheel
She found his body all crushed & torn
Under the twisted steel
It caused her to weep, it caused her to moan
It caused her to lose her mind
When she thought of how she lost her man,
So brave, so gentle & kind
Now she wonders alone beneath the trees,
And is happy to mourn her man
And the cold wind comes to chill her bones
And the sea mist hangs over her head
Black girl, black girl, where will you go?
She goes where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun never shines
She shivers the whole night through
Black girl, black girl, where will you go?
She goes where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun never shines
She shivers the whole night through
