[D]
I got on that freight train, I tried to beat my way.
Loaded rocks and gravel, Lord, flew all in my face.
What happened?
I deconducted, let me ride it blind.
Okay, okay.
I deconducted, let me ride it blind.
What did it say?
Lord, it shoved it's head through the train and none of mine.
Bet you shook up then, I know.
I got a letter from her spring, I tell you I'd worry.
Read it in the penalty.
I got a letter from her spring, I tell you I'd worry.
Lord, it come at once, boy, the son of Galilee did.
It came at once, son of Galilee did.
Then I left my baby standing out back door crying.
I left my baby standing out back door crying.
I never felt so sorry, Lord.
There she said goodbye, Lord.
Lord, she said goodbye.
Lord, she said goodbye.
