Black Girl

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 shivered the whole night through
Tell me where did you get those pretty little shoes
And the dress that you wear so fine?
I got my shoes from a railroad man
My dress from a driver in the mine
I wish to the Lord that I'd never been born
Or died when I was young
I never would have kissed your sweet face
Or heard your rattling tongue
True love, true love, tell me where will you go?
Going to go where the wild winds blow
Going to weep, going to cry
going to sleep, going to sigh
Going to dance in my good-time shoes
