My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My husband was a hardworking man
Killed a mile and a half from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
And his body hasn't ever been found
My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My husband was a hardworking man
Killed a mile and a half from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
And his body hasn't ever been found
My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

This is leadbellys version of "In The Pines", Which he also does a direct cover of, which I posted lyrics to, though they not be exactly right as I couldnt make out the last line properly.
An interesting side note is that both Kurt Cobain & Krist Novoselic of Nirvana fame performed on Lanegan's cover.
The song itself is so timeless that it's very amazing to hear the myriads of different interpretations.
Mark Lanaghen did a great version of this song, not as good as this one, but better then Nirvanas on one of his solo cd's.
Both are well worth getting a hold of.
Also, as a side note, any Twin Peaks fan's out there? A lot of this song seems to have some meaning to what goes on in the show. Ie) A lot of pine trees, girls sleep around, people dying and even on of teh songs on teh show is called "In the trees"
