In the pines, in the pines

My girl, my girl, where will you go

I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines

Her husband, was a hard working man

Just about a mile from here

His head was found in a driving wheel

And his body never was found

I would shiver the whole night through 
 
(Shiver for Me)
