Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (F major) (D major) (F major) (D major) Black girl,
black girl, (G major) don't lie to me
(D major) Tell me, did (A major) you sleep last (D major) night? (F major)
(D major) Beneath the pines, beneath the pines,
(G major) where the moon never shines
(D major) And I shivered (A major) the whole night (D major) through (F major)
(D major) Now my husband was a (G major) railroad man
(D major) Killed a mile and (A major) a half from here (D major)
His head was found neath
the (G major) drivin' (D major) wheel
But his body ain't (A major) never been (D major) found
Why it caused me to weep, and (G major) it caused me to moan, (D major)
and it caused me (A major) to lose my (D major) home. (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Black girl, black girl, (G major) don't lie to me
(D major) Tell me, where will (A major) you sleep tonight?
(D major) N 'neath the pines, n 'neath the pines,
(G major) where the moon never shines
(D major) And I'll share her (A major) whole
night (D major) through
Now a little spirit reviver, in a revivalist song altogether,
sometimes referred to as
a
Camp
Median song, and it's the last song this evening,
I hope you like it, it's called
glory.
