My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I’m going where the cold wind blows
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
Traditional Folk Song written by Leadbelly
I play and sing this song as the last song, in my set every night, at the bar I co own here in Mexico. It is a real crowd pleaser because they love Nirvana unplugged album, here. But, I am extremely happy that I found this older version. I think that I’ll start singing it like Leadbelly, from now on, and find more of his songs. New Leadbelly fan here!
Kurt cobain wanted to buy leadbellys guitar and look at kurt broke record 6 million for new york unplugged. RIP to these guys and their Legends will live forever....
The fact that this song has jumped so many generation gaps is wonderful. its something that needs to be passed like the Olympic torch. this song resonates with a group. I pray for the next keeper of this song. I pray some one keeps it alive.
