| | Where Did You Sleep Last Night Lyrics Artist(Band):Nirvana
Tell me where did you sleep last night. In the pines, in the pines, Where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through. My girl, my girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows. In the pines, in the pines, Where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through Her husband, was a hard working man, Just about a mile from here. His head was found in a driving 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 would shiver the whole night through. My girl, my girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows. In the pines, in the pines, Where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through. 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 would shiver the whole night through. My girl, my girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows. In the pines, …the pines, ……… sun, ……….shine. I shiver the whole, night through!

Review about Where Did You Sleep Last Night Josh White recorded this | Reviewer: Sylvia Watkins | 10/7/09 Josh White sang this song long before Kurt Cobain was born, so I'm pretty sure he did not write it. I had a Josh White album which I must have bought in the late 1950's. It may have been titled "In the Pines" but the words are the same. I have kicked myself 10,000 times for ever giving up my vinyls. "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"...THE ORIGIN OF THE SONG!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/28/09 WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT performed and written by Kurt Gobain and his band NIRVANA, is actually a re-make (BUT NOT A RIP-OFF) of the song IN THE PINES by the bluegrass legend, BIll Monroe. I don't know exactly when this tune was first written, but I'd bet the ranch it was way before any of us reading (or WRITING) this was born! Re-makes of old, standard American roots standards ain't nothin' new...check out Jimmy Page's re-makes of HOW MANY MORE TIMES (Willie Dixon), WHOLE LOTTA LOVE (Willie Dixon), YOU SHOOK ME (Willie Dixon), etc. The cool thing is, LED ZEPPELIN's publishing company, SuperHype Music, recognized the value of, and awarded the Dixon family -$$$- for Willie's uncopyrighted tunes. So would I if my band made that much money!?!? Thanks from somewhere in Virginia Great Song | Reviewer: Seggi | 4/19/09 "leadbelly was the first one to ever sing it and have it recorded though he did not write it so Kurt did not cover Leadbellys song Leadbelly covered a widely known song with no artist so technically they all "covered" it." Well, it's called In The Pines, traditionally, but Lead Belly's formation of the song was the one that was used. It doesn't make it any less of a beautiful song, though. Mr Mister | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/13/09 i guess this song's bout a wife who killed her husband and is now questioned by sum sherriff of whomever...he just keeps telling her not to lie to him and to tell where she was the previous night...would be the most obvious and plausible explanation^^... i luv nirvana, best band ever; grunge rules!!! too bad that this fool kurt killed himself_._ how i wish | Reviewer: steven fontaine | 3/11/09 when i heard his song nirvana i thought wow because usallyy all other songs are quite angry this one seems to be like hes sad but when isnt he i read his bio i would be to but if i ever became a musician i would cover this song and try to bring grundge back but i would'ndt be able to be as good as kurt R.I.P i LOVE NIRVANA I LOVE NIRVANA! love it... | Reviewer: KaTak | 3/8/09 first heared this song was when i'm still studying in university... a friend played this song and sing it.... never really knows the singer is... but the lyric kept coming to my head over and over... fer years it took me to really look for this song lyric again and that's when i knew and felt in love with Nirvana.... legend will never end... Legend | Reviewer: Daniel | 1/8/09 Honestly, evrytime i hear this song i weap... I'm not sure if Kurt Really killed himself or if his wife killed him. There's so much contradicting evidence and suspicious things that was found, its difficult to say! One thing i do know, Kurt Cobain was a legend and what was written in his suicide note, i can see him writing it! On a live and loud concert of theres, at the end he claps to the crowd, but the way he does it is like hes mocking them... which really connects with his note. Either way he'll never be forgotten. You rule Kurt! Haunting | Reviewer: Kain | 12/15/08 I forgot who, but someone pretty well nailed it, this song was not written by Kurt, it was a general folk song that was probably handed down to Kurt from his mother or something. What triggers me about this song, was it was one of the first songs that Kurt ever learned how to play, and sing at the same time. He rarely sing it while live, and dropped it from the groups normal set; Perhaps it made him think back to bad times, or just not his cup of tea I guess. So, one of first songs played, and coincidentally decided to make this the last note in his final musical performance, and killed himself not to far after. Whatever the song may have meant, takes a back seat to this. I never really listened to Nirvana when Kurt was around, and I can't say I was a huge fan even at the time of the event... but, I hear this song live for Unplugged, remember what was wrote in his suicide letter, and I hear a sigh right before the last two words of this song, and I can hardly stop from shedding at least a few tears. In a way, it's sort of a Samurai thing to do, very romantic. It makes one stop and think, could you see this life playing out any other way? Would anyone liked to have seen the "where are they now!?" episode of Kurt under a bridge, or worse yet, guest appearing on the Tonight Show? He was a visionary that could not make sense out of this life, and how it punishes and rewards, and of all people to be cherished, why fuckin' him? Like most great minds before their time, he killed himself to silence the nonsense, like a modern day Vincent Van Gogh meaning? | Reviewer: Tater | 12/2/08 What does this song mean? I thought it was a "love blade" type thing, but the only person who died is "her husband". who is the speaker in the song? Could the speaker be the lover to the woman whose husband is dead? It seems backwards. So the lover killed the husband and now he is worried that the girl has found a 3rd person to hump. crazy lyrics... Nirvana | Reviewer: Riodan Coles | 11/6/08 For me Nirvana is and always will be the greatest band of all time, and ofcourse there will always be conspiracy theorys about Kurts death/suicide but if you actually read his suicide note you start to think maybe he did kill himself, he didn't appreciate what he had anymore and that pissed him off.
