about

Traditional Folk Song

lyrics

Black girl black girl don't you 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 long
Black girl black girl tell me where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

I caused her to weep
I caused her to moan
I caused her to leave her home

My daddy was a railroad man - killed a mile and a half from town
His head was caught 'neath the driver's wheel - and his body ain't
never been found

Black girl black girl don't you 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 long

The longest train I ever saw - was a hundred coaches long
And the only one I ever loved - was on that train and gone

healthy contempt for religious authority, as well as a touch of humor and optimism.
“The Ranters” hope that you enjoy this musical offering of
contemporary roots/blues titled “Rant on, Children”. ... more
