Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Lead Belly cover) Lyrics

My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In a patch, in a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivered all night
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In a patch, in a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivered all night
Her husband was a hard working man
Killed a mile and a half from here
His head was found on a driving wheel
And his body never was found
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In a patch, in a patch
Where the sun never shines
My body shivered all night
My girl, my girl
Where will you go
To a place where the cold wind blows
To a patch, to a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivers all night
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In a patch, in a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivered all night

jesus some people need to get a life instead of checking out lyrics to a person who they view as a bitch and a murderer, its fucking pathetic, keep ur views to urself no one wants to hear outdated conspiracy theories from people who just wont believe that kurt killed HIMSELF because of course they know sooo much about him, he had an illness, he was a drug addict and he hated being a rockstar, GET OVER IT

Cover art for Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Lead Belly cover) lyrics by Hole

DAMN YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID. She killed him cos he was more famous than her? WELL THEN THAT FUCKING SOLVES THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION FOR US!!! Kurt had issues his whole life. He was depressed, insecure, narcisistic and narcoleptic, and he had a rare stomach disorder that made his life hell. He tried to commit suicide 4-5 times in the years before that, but someone managed to keep him alive. Guess who that was? (Hint: it was not Dave Grohl.)

Here's a couple more reasons why you people are stupid fucking dicks:

  1. Let's say, as some of you dumbasses already have, that courtney wants some money. Despite her big fucking house and all the loads of shit she has, she still wants more. She has 2 options: A) Allow her husband to continue topping the charts and bringing in the big money with his platinum albums or B) Kill the fucker. Leave with nothing.

  2. She killed him cos he was more talented than her? That is just so fucking ignorant that i simply cannot believe you have somehow managed to live this long. If it were up to darwin, evolution would have eliminated you and your kind aeons ago.

  3. The heroin: Firstly, Kurt had been on smack for years, so naturally he's built up somewhat of a tolerance to it. Secondly, it's not like turning on a lightbulb, it takes a while for it to take effect. If he already had the shotgun with him, he would have had no trouble. WHo are these experts that are telling you this anyway?

  4. She hired someone to kill him? She was in another state at the time, and he escaped from rehab just hours before he died. How the hell do you think she would have planned that out?

  5. She wanted the spotlight? After the vanity fare case situation, she wanted to stay the hell out of it for a while. SHe got plenty of publicity just being his wife. Anyway, if she really needed to get in the magazines, all she needed to do was go get drunk on a plane, flash herself and then attack someone. As she does now.

  6. She wanted Frances to herself? Yes, cos every woman dreams of someday being a widowed single mother. Particularly the one's who are addicted to drugs and have to fly all over the planet all the time.

All your 'motives' are both circumstantial and irrelevant. Try bringing this case into a court, the judge'll hold you in contempt for being an ignorant fuckhead. Everything you people have said (with the exceptions of angel, morgen and meanpeoplesuck) is complete bullshit. What exactly is it that automatically makes you disbelieve the simplest and most plausible explaation and search for the stupidest conspiracy theory you can find? I'm not saying you shouldn't try to consider any possibilities, i'm saying that if something is extremely unlikely and makes no sense, and there's already a good, reasonable explanation, maybe you shouldn't take the ignorant theory and proclaim it to be the gospel fucking truth.

'Face the facts' you say? The only fact i have observed so far is that you are not smart people.

So, it's 2014 now. 10 fucking years have passed since this comment.

But I don't care. This comment is PERFECTION! I couldn't stop laughing and nodding my head while I was reading it. Soooo agreed with you.

Sorry for being so late to the party but what can I say...I'm fashionable like that...;)

IT WAS SUICIDE. Kurt was unhappy his whole entire life. He loved Courtney and if you ever did any real research you'd find out that she really loved him too. Come on...That stupid justiceforkurt site is complete bullshit. For Christ's sake, there are so many fucking spelling errors on that site. How could you trust someone who can't spell for shit?

.....hate to break it to you but arguing over it won't bring him back.

HEY hoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww about you all shut the fuk up. NO one knows how he died. Also the way you are all talking about courtney, did u forget that she is the only person he truly loved??? If it wasnt for her he would of been gone along time before 94. SOO just wake the fuk up ok.

shadowwiththeeyes - thanks for being sane, intelligent and informative. No doubt it wasted on these so-called Cobain fans, but I appreciated it regardless.

Have you idiots have any idea what the fuck your talking about, Courtney would never kill Kurt. And if you had any idea how much of a reck she was after Kurt's suicide, you would know how stupid you are. Kurt and Courtney would always sing with each other because they loved eachother so much (2 Examples are Drunk in Rio, and Asking For It). And if you read what 'shadowwiththeeyes' said then you would no that Coutney couldn't have killed Kurt. Oh, and inside_the_cynic, Kurt made this song just as little as Courtney did cuz it's been covered alot, and if you read the commets of this song in the Nirvana section you would know that lingsam put a large comment about the history of the song and that it is very, very old and that it was originally called 'In The Pines' (which also reminds me that the lyrics are wrong cuz it isn't supposed to say 'in the patch'...) therefore Kurt didn't have to give legal rights to Courtney.

Yaaawwwwwwwwn

You fuckers bore me.

I like Courtney's cover of this song. Not quite as much as Kurt's cover (I'm only comparing Kurt and Courtney because they both covered this, NOT because I senselessly hate one of them), but I still think she did a great job and has one of the coolest voices I've ever heard.
