Went down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock
And the cab passed by at nine
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away
A long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home
Little girl, little girl, what have I done
That makes you treat me so
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home
My father was an engineer
Died a mile out of town
His head was found in the driving gear
But his body was never found
The longest train I ever saw Went down that Georgia line The engine passed at six o'clock And the cab passed by at nine In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold wind blows I asked my captain for the time of day He said he throwed his watch away A long steel rail and a short cross tie I'm on my way back home Little girl, little girl, what have I done That makes you treat me so You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn You caused me to leave my home My father was an engineer Died a mile out of town His head was found in the driving gear But his body was never found Explain Request ×
