Here you go:

LONESOME IN THE PINES

I'm lonesome in the pines where the sun never shines
I shiver while the cold wind blows
I shiver while the cold wind blows, darlin'
In the pines where the sun never shines
Through the pines, little girl
Where the sun don't shine
I shiver while the cold wind blows

My sweetheart got killed last Friday night
Just a mile and a half from town
His head was found in the driver's wheel
And his body has never been found
In the pines, little girl, where the sun don't shine
I shiver while the cold wind blows

Uncle Sam got a train on the Baltimore & Maine
And she blows every nine hundred miles
The longest train I ever rode - through the pines
Where the sun never shines - through the pines
Little girl, where the sun don't shine
I shivered (sic) while the cold wind blows

My hat was shot, my head to the ground
To the pines where the sun never shines
I could hear the bullets go hummin' in the air
They were singing 'Home Sweet Home'
Now darlin', now darlin', don't tell me no lies
Where did you stay last night
I stayed in the pines where the sun never shines
I shivered while the cold winds blow
