"In The Pines" lyrics

What is the soul of man that turns his heart so cold
Drives him to darkness and casts a shadow in his soul
I guess nobody knows

Oh boy, what did you do to hurt your mother's soul
To make your father weep and I alone in the cold
I guess nobody knows
My boy

Oh yeah, my boy, my boy, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the plains, in the plains, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Heaven is calling you, won't you give it speed
Don't risk your soul to sin, it is so precious indeed
Oh, I wish you could see

Oh boy, what did you do to hurt your mother's soul
To make your father weep and I alone in the cold
I guess nobody knows
My boy

Oh yeah, my boy, my boy, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the plains, in the plains, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Oh yeah, my boy, my boy, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you go
Out on the way, where the cold river
In the plains, in the plains, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver

Oh yeah
