Verse:

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.

 

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.

 

Chorus:

In the pines, in the pines, Where the sun never shines,

And we shiver when the cold wind blows.
