Intro
E A G E B7 E x2
E A G
Black girl, black Girl, don’t you lie to me
E B7 E
where did you sleep last night?
E A G
In the pines, In the pines, Where the sun never shines
E B7 E
and I shivered the whole night through.
E A G
Black girl, Come on Maggie girl, oh where will you go
E B7 E
Im going where the cold wind blows
E A G
You called me to weep and you called me to moan
E B7 E
You called me to leave my home
E A G
My Daddy was a Railroad man
E B7 E
Killed a mile and a half from here
E A G
His head, was found, In a drivers wheel
E B7 E
And his body hasn't never been found.
