CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: E/PLAY: D
Intro: D Whooee-whoo-{A7} whoo-hoo-{D} hoo! 
 
D The longest D7 train I G ever D saw 
Went down that A7 Georgia D line 
The engine D7 passed at G six o'{D} clock 
And the cab passed A7 by at D nine. 
 
Refrain: 
D In the pines, in the D7 pines 
Where the G sun never D shines 
And we shiver when the A7 cold wind D blows; 
D Whooee-whoo-{D7} hoo; G whoo-hoo-{D} hoo 
Whoee-whoo-{A7} whoo hoo-{D} hoo! 
 
I asked my captain for the time of day 
He said he throwed his watch away 
A long steel rail and a short cross tie 
I'm on my way back home. 
 
Refrain: 
 
Little girl, little girl, what have I done 
That makes you treat me so? 
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn 
You caused me to leave my home. 
 
Refrain:
