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
"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." -- Ecclesiastes 1:9
I notice all of the posts about Lead Belly. He did not write the song, he was just one of the many covers, best in my opinion, although this is a very good updated version. The song was written before Lead Belly was born, and the author, unfortunately has been lost to time.
this was recorded by Jack Endino during the " Jury " sessions. It was a side project of Mark and Kurts. It features Kurt on backing vocals and guitar and Krist on bass and Mark Pickerel from the Screaming Trees on drums. It's awesome.
I've always been a Nirvana appreciator, and just recently got into Mark. I was PLEASANTLY surprised when I found this while buzzed off my ass. You can distinctly hear both of them on here.
Where Did You Sleep Last Night" also known as "In The Pines" and "My Girl" is an American folk song dating from about the 1870s, and is believed to be Southern Appalachian
This is the song that Mark Lanegan and Nirvana covered. It is not a Nirvana song, or a Mark Lanegan song. It is a traditional song that Leadbelly was the first to record it. Lanegan and Cobain heard it and loved it.
