In The Pines

from Down By The Riverside by Lew Bear

/

about

This is a traditional American track, with many versions done through the ages
My version features the guitar used as a percussive device, because I hadn't learned the song and merely found myself in a grove of pines in Badby Woods and felt inclined to "give it a go"
It turned out much better than expected and so I've included it in the album

lyrics

My girl my girl dont lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl my girl where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body ne'er was found

My girl my girl dont lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl my girl dont lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl my girl where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl my girl dont lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
