<P> "In the Pines", converted into the Cajun French language and sung under the titles "Pine Grove Blues" or "Ma Negresse", became one of the landmark songs of Cajun music . The song is most associated with Nathan Abshire, the Louisiana Cajun accordion player, for whom "Pine Grove Blues" was his biggest hit . His melody is a hard - driving blues, but the lyrics, when translated to English, are the familiar "Hey, my girl, where did you sleep last night?" The Cajun French word "negresse" and the masculine counterpart "negre" are terms of endearment without regard to race . He recorded it at least three times, from the 1940s onward . Since then, Abshire's version has been covered by a wide variety of Cajun and zydeco musicians, including the Pine Leaf Boys, the Lost Bayou Ramblers, Beau Jocque, and Cedric Watson . </P> <P> The Four Pennies recorded and released the song as "Black Girl" in October 1964 . Their version reached No. 20 in the UK, but was not released by their label in the US . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Song by Nirvana </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> from the album MTV Unplugged in New York </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Released </Th> <Td> 1 November 1994 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Recorded </Th> <Td> November 18, 1993 at Sony Music Studios in New York City </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Length </Th> <Td> 5.08 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Label </Th> <Td> DGC Records </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Songwriter (s) </Th> <Td> Lead Belly </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Td> Alex Coletti, Scott Litt, Nirvana </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> MTV Unplugged in New York track listing </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> 13 tracks (show) <Ol> <Li> "About a Girl" </Li> <Li> "Come as You Are" </Li> <Li> "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" </Li> <Li> "The Man Who Sold the World" </Li> <Li> "Pennyroyal Tea" </Li> <Li> "Dumb" </Li> <Li> "Polly" </Li> <Li> "On a Plain" </Li> <Li> "Something in the Way" </Li> <Li> "Plateau" </Li> <Li> "Oh, Me" </Li> <Li> "Lake of Fire" </Li> <Li> "All Apologies" </Li> <Li> "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" </Li> </Ol> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" </Th> </Tr>
