does anyone anywhere know the words to this song?

Question

this is one oft the lines in, the pines where the sun never shines and and you shiver when the cold winds blow

Answer 1

The song is alternately titled "Black Girl" and "In the Pines". It's most famous as the last song done by Kurt Cobain in his MTV acoustic set, but it's actually a very old song. Leadbelly recorded the song in the 30's or 40's, which is how Kurt probably knew about it. It's a story about a young black girl who kills her abusive husband and hides in the pines, scared. His body is found but his head is gone. She knows it's just a matter of time before she's hung for murder. The singer asks:

"black girl, black girl, where did you go? Where did you sleep last night?".

She answers "In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't never shine...

Answer 2

I found this for you on the following music blog site (http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/02/23/154405.php)

The prettiest girl I ever did see
Was killed one mile from here.
Her head is in the driving wheel
Her body never was found.
To the pines, to the pines, where the sun never shines
Gonna shiver where the cold winds blow.

Not as spine-chilling, though, as the a cappella version of “To the Pines, To the Pines” on this collection. Better known in the versions by Leadbelly (“In the Pines”) and Nirvana (“Where Did You Sleep Last Night”), this rendition features a different tune (which Lunsford’s notes in the liner point to as the ancestor of “Look Down That Lonesome Road”) and slightly different lyrics. Where Leadbelly’s lyric (which Kurt Cobain used) narrows to a tightly dramatic accusation and defense of a girl, presumably the narrator’s wife or girlfriend, Lunsford’s version (recorded in 1949 two years after Leadbelly’s) interrogates a little boy who is a witness.

Answer 4

In The Pines
~Traditional

Little girl, little girl what have I done
To make you treat me so
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan
You have caused me to leave my home

Chorus
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver when the cold winds blow

My daddy was a railroad man
Drove a mile and a half uptown
His head was found 'neath the driving wheel
His body has never been found

[chorus]

The longest train I ever saw
Was down that northern line
The engine passed by at ten o'clock
The cab passed by at nine

[chorus]

Little girl, little girl what have I done
To make you treat me so
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan
You have caused me to leave my home

[chorus]

The longest train that ever I saw
Went down the Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock
And the cab it passed at nine

Chorus
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows

I asked my captain for the time of day
He (said?) throwed his watch away
It's a long (?) and a short (cross tie?)
I'm on my way back home

[Chorus]

Little girl, little girl, what have I done
That makes you treat me so
You caused me to weep, and caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home

[Chorus]

Black girl, black girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you stay last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shiver the whole night through

You caused me to weep and you caused me to mourn
And you caused me to leave my happy home

Black girl, black girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you stay last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shiver the whole night through

Black girl, black girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you stay last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shiver the whole night through

You caused me to weep and you caused me to mourn
And you caused me to leave my happy home
