Shawn Phillips - Black Girl lyrics

Ledbetter Black girl, black girl Don't you lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night 'Neath the pines, 'neath the pines Where the sun never shines And I shivered in the cold, deadly cold* Her husband was a railroad man He died a half mile out of town His head was found 'neath the driving wheel But his body was never, ever found Black girl, black girl Don't you lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night 'Neath the pines, 'neath the pines Where the sun never shines And I shivered in the cold, deadly cold* ("And I shivered the whole night through" in Baldry/Bell version)
