Black girl

Black girl, black girl, dont'lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night ?
In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
And I shivered the whole night through.
Black girl, black girl, where will you go ?
I'm goin' where the cold wind clows,
In the pines, ...
My husband was a railroad man
Killed a mile and half from there.
His head was found in the driver's wheel
And his body haven't never been found.
Black girl, black girl, where will you go ?
I'm goin' where the cold wind clows,
In the pines, ...
You caused me to weep and you caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my home.
Leadbelly fut l'un des premiers à chanter ce blues traditionnel dont l’auteur reste inconnu.
