In The Pines - Bill Monroe featuring Cannibal Corps (sounds like the early 40s version but maybe the early 50s one) In the Pines, also known as Black Girl and Where Did You Sleep Last Night, is a traditional American folk song which dates back to at least the 1870s, and is believed to be Southern Appalachian in origin. The identity of the songs author is unknown, but it has been recorded by many artists in numerous genres. Traditionally, it is most often associated with the American blues musician Lead Belly, who recorded several versions in the 1940s, as well as the American bluegrass musician Bill Monroe, who helped popularize the song (in a different variant, featuring lyrics about a train) among bluegrass and country audiences with his versions recorded in the 1940s and 1950s. The song, performed by The Four Pennies, reached the UK top twenty in 1964. A live rendering by Nirvana reinterpreting Lead Bellys version and was recorded during a 1993 MTV Unplugged performance. https://youtube/watch?v=2UTOLuiB-_4
