In the Pines / Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

My love, my love, don't lie to me

Tell me, where did you sleep last night?

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

I shivered the whole night through

My husband was a railroad man

He was killed a mile from here

His head was found in a driver's wheel

But his body has never been found

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world of woe

But there's no sickness, toll, nor danger

In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

The longest train I ever saw went down the Georgia line

The engines passed at six o'clock and the cab went by at nine

My love, my love, where will you go?

I'm going where the cold wind blows

I'm going there to see my mother

She said she'd meet me when I come

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home
