"I asked the captain for the time of day, darling ...
He got so mad, he threw his watch away"

That is used in the song, "In The Pines" (where the sun never shines)

IN THE PINES
(Alan Riggs)

« © '56 Atlantic Music, BMI »

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 shiwered when the cold winds blow
Uh huh huh uh huh huh

[ mandolin ]
I asked the captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away
Along steel rail and the short cross tie
I'm on my way back home

In the pines in the pines....

[ mandolin ]
Little girl little girl what have I done
That makes you treat me so
You've caused me to weep you've caused ne to mourn
You've caused me to leave my home

In the pines in the pines....
