BLACK GIRL by The Four Pennies
-Standard tuning
Intro: 2x Dm Am F G(Barre) F E
Am D F
Black girl, black girl, tell me no lies,
Am E Am
where did you sleep last night
Am
In the pines, in the pines,
D F
where the sun never shines
Am E Am
To shiver, the whole night through
Am D F
Her husband was a railroad man,
Am E Am
killed at the driving wheel
Am D F
She found his body all crushed & torn
Am E Am
under the twisted steel

Am D F
It caused her to weep, it caused her to moan
Am E Am
It caused her to lose her mind
Am D F
She thought of how she lost her man,
Am E Am
So brave, so gentle & kind
SOLO(Am D F Am E Am)
Am D F
Now she wonders alone beneath the trees,
Am E Am
she’s happy to mourn her man
Am D F
And the cold wind blows to chill her bones
Am E Am
And sea mist hangs over her head
Am D F
Black girl, black girl, Where will you go?
Am E Am
She goes where the cold wind blows
Am
In the pines, in the pines,
D F
where the sun never shines
Am A F A
To shiver, the whole night through……..
