Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o’ clock
And the cab passed by at nine
In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away
A long steel rail and a short cross tie
I’m on my way back home
Little girl little girl what have I done
That makes you treat me so
You caused me to weep you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home
[1] Whoo hoo [5] hoo hoo [1] hoo
[1] The longest [17] train I [4] ever [1] saw
Went down that [5] Georgia [1] line
The engine [17] passed at [4] six o’ [1] clock
And the cab passed [5] by at [1] nine
In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away
A long steel rail and a short cross tie
I’m on my way back home
Little girl little girl what have I done
That makes you treat me so
You caused me to weep you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home
