Am                         D         FAnd the cold wind blows to chill her bones 
Am           E              AmAnd sea mist hangs over her head

Am                      D              FBlack girl, black girl, Where will you go? 
Am                 E         AmShe goes where the cold wind blows

Am                   In the pines, in the pines, 
D                   Fwhere the sun never shines

Am                         A          F           ATo shiver, the whole night through……..
