Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Verse 1

Little girl, little girl, what have I done

That makes you treat me so?

You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn

And you caused me to leave my home

Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Verse 2

The longest train I ever saw

Came down that Georgia line

The engine passed at six o'clock

And the cab came by at nine

Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And we shiver when the cold winds blow

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Verse 1

As the blackbird in the spring

'neath the willow tree

Sat and piped I heard him sing

Praising Aura Lee.

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 2

Take my heart and take my ring

I give my all to thee

Take me for eternity

Dearest Aura Lee!

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 3

In her blush the rose was born

'twas music when she spoke

In her eyes the light of morn

Sparkling seemed to break.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 4

Aura Lee the bird may flee

The willow' golden hair

Then the wintry winds may be

Blowing ev'rywhere.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 5

Yet if thy blue eyes I see

Gloom will soon depart

For to me sweet Aura Lee

Is sunshine to the heart.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 1

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

From the queen of flowing mountains to the south side by the shore

She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all

She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball

Verse 2

Now She came down from Birmingham one cold December day

As she rolled into the station you could hear all the people say

There's that gal from Tennessee she's long and she's tall

She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball

Verse 3

Yeah Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar

As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hobo call

You're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Verse 4

Our Eastern states are dandy so the people always say

From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way

From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall

No chances can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball

Verse 5

So Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar

As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hobo call

You're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Here’s a story
For you all
You won’t believe it

That’s for sure
But I tell the truth

That stings my heart

Of gorgeous queen

And a lonesome bard

She fell in love with me

That’s how I almost

Became a king

I travelled far

My road was long

I played my lute
And sang my songs

Then one night
In walks a queen

Hair, dress, everything

She looked me with

Her pretty eyes
I’ve never seen

Such lovely smile

She danced until the dawn

That’s how I almost

Seized the throne

As soon as sun began to rise

King sent his royal spies

She could not resist my charms

She almost fell into my arms
I tell you all, I wouldn’t lie
I fled the scene in a nick of time

Still today I sing
How I almost
Became your king
