"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 song's author is unknown.
Traditionally, it is most often associated with the American folk musician Lead Belly, who recorded several versions in the 1940s.

In plays

The song appears in the 1958 play A Taste of Honey, by the British dramatist Shelagh Delaney. It is sung by the character Josephine, who replaces the lyric "black girl" with "black boy." The "black boy" in the play is her boyfriend Jimmy, a black sailor who impregnated her.
The song also appears in the 2009 play Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Anna Friel as Holly Golightly. Sung acoustically by Holly at the front of the stage with just a guitar.

In literature

The song is mentioned in Charles Frazier's novel Thirteen Moons. While writing of the progress of the railroad through North Carolina in the years following Reconstruction, the lead character, Will Cooper, reminisces of a song, "about pines and the head caught in the driving wheel and the body on the line, the narrator pleading to know where his woman slept last night."
One of Manly Wade Wellman's fantasy stories about the minstrel-hero Silver John is "Shiver In The Pines", and makes reference to the song.
The Andrea Cabassi short story Where did you sleep last night develops from the plot of this song's lyrics.
The poet Alice Notley has written a book length poem sequence entitled "In The Pines" (2007)
