| Intro: | Whooee-whoo- | whoo-hoo- | hoo! |
| D | D7 | G | D | |
| The longest | train I | ever | saw |
| A7 | D | |
| Went down that | Georgia | line |
| D7 | G | D | |
| The engine | passed at | six o' | clock |
| A7 | D | |
| And the cab passed | by at | nine. |
| Refrain: |
| D | D7 | |
| In the pines, in the | pines |
| G | D | |
| Where the | sun never | shines |
| A7 | D | |
| And we shiver when the | cold wind | blows; |
| D | D7 | G | D | |
| Whooee-whoo- | hoo; | whoo-hoo- | hoo |
| A7 | D | |
| Whoee-whoo- | whoo hoo- | hoo! |
| I asked my captain for the time of day |
| He said he throwed his watch away |
| A long steel rail and a short cross tie |
| I'm on my way back home. |
| Refrain: |
| Little girl, little girl, what have I done |
| That makes you treat me so? |
| You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn |
| You caused me to leave my home. |
