E5 [walk bass E-F#-G-E]   A  G  B  B/F#  E5 [2x]

E5                      A      G
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me.
         B             B/F#       E5
Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
E5                                   A              G
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine.
        B          B/F#        E5
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 don't ever shine.
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 never was found.

VERSE 2 REPRISE:  then:  VERSE 1 REPRISE:

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 don't ever shine.
I'll shiver the whole night through.
