Black girl, black girl, don't you lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night ?

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And I shivered the whole night long.



Tell me where did you get that pretty little dress

And those shoes that you wear so fine ?

I got my dress from a railroad man

And my shoes from a driver deep in the mine.



Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night ?

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And I shivered the whole night long.
