Kurt Cobain puts so much of himself in this chilling tune. This original singer far as I know was a black artist named LeadBelly.
Kurts entire performance was chilling,

The girl in this song was obviously married, sneaking off to meet a man
It starts out with a question, an accusation: “My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me, tell me where did you sleep last night?”

And the answer is dire: “In the pines, in the pines, where the sun doesn’t shine and I shiver the whole night through.

It starts out with a question, an accusation: “My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me, tell me where did you sleep last night?”

And the answer is dire: “In the pines, in the pines, where the sun doesn’t shine and I shiver the whole night through.”

And then later a man, her husband, is found dead—decapitated of all things. We don’t know why, but whatever is happening with this girl, it’s dark. But what’s striking about Cobain’s performance is his emotional tenderness. It doesn’t feel like anger propels his questions, but grief.

ANOTHER VERSION.....“Now darlin, now darlin don’t tell me no lie, where did you stay last night?”

And then, an act of violence:

“The train run back back one mile from town and killed my girl, you know. Her head was caught in the driver’s wheel, her body I never could find.”
(Kurt Cobain's chilling version) GIVE IT A LISTEN

I believe some woman should be born with a warning label attached to them especially her
