Black Girl Lyrics by The Journeymen

The Journeymen

1961

[Verse 1]
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 shiver the whole night through
[Verse 2]
Black girl, black girl
Where'd you get that dress?
Tell me where'd you get those shoes so fine?
I got that dress from a railroad man
And the shoes from a man
In the mine
[Bridge]
My daddy was a railroad man
Died a mile and a half from here
His head was found in a drivin' wheel
And his body has nevеr been found
[Verse 3]
Black girl, black girl
Tell me wherе will you go?
I'm goin' where the cold winds blow
To the pines, to the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shiver the whole night through
[Outro]
Black girl, black girl
Don't lie to me
