It was a song so old that no one could say for certain who wrote it. It had been covered by everyone from Lead Belly to Nirvana and spoke of a mystery, the woman who hid in the pines, and a murdered husband. And in some places, if a troubled woman with a bruised face or a broken heart sang the words, legends said the pine girl would step from where the cold wind blows to take revenge. Johnny didn’t believe any of that and he laughed when he slapped Becky’s face.
They found his head in a driving wheel, but his body was never found.
