Song: “In the Pines”

Quote:

“My husband was a hard working 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 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.”
