“Black girl, black girl, don’t lie to me
Where did you stay last night?
I stayed in the pines where the sun never shines
And shivered when the cold wind blows”

My husband was a railroad man
killed a mile and a half from here
his head was found in a driving wheel
and his body hasn’t never been found
A Simple Song That Lives Beyond Time
Black girl, black girl where will you go?
I’m going where the cold wind blows
You called me to weep and you called me to moan
and you called me
to leave my home
Your photograph is exquisite. It looks like a silkscreen.
I asked my captain for the time of day. He said he throwed his watch away. Wonderful blog.
This is one of my favorite songs. It always makes me feel bittersweet, and I think that your photo really manifests this feeling. Great work.
