Where Did You Sleep Last Night
Huddie Ledbetter

Nirvana
Unplugged
1994

This song is very simple but really cool.  It was written by
one of Cobain's idols, Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, who was
one of the early blues masters (we're talking 1920's here).
This is the man who the comment about "Leadbelly's guitar" is
directed.  And this song may indicate that he was imprisoned
for about 20 years because he killed someone.  He was kinda
violent.  Just in case you were wondering...

My girl my girl don't lie to me
        B                        E
Tell me where did you sleep last night
       E                            A              G
In the pines in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
       B                      E
I will shiver the whole night through


My girl my girl where will you go
I'm goin' where the cold wind blows
In the pines in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through


Her husband was a hard-workin' man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in the drivin' wheel
But his body never was found


My girl my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

In the pines...the pines...sun...shine
I would shiver the whole night through
