I'm gonna catch the first train home
I don't know what i come here for
Yeah, first train home
I don't know what i come here for
'cause for nine long years i couldn't even walk out of my door
Here's what i say

Break:

I'm gonna catch the first train home
I don't know what i come here for
The first train, the first train home
I don't know what i come here for
'cause for nine long years, i couldn't even walk out of my door

Watch out for me, woman
And don't mind nobody else
Watch out for me, woman
And don't mind nobody else
Ain't got no crystal ball
But the future ain't hard to tell

Break:

I love the woman
I just can't stand to leave her be
I love the woman
I just can't stand to leave her be
Now we got to get married
An' might even raise a whole family

Watch out for me, woman, an'
And don't mind nobody else
Watch out for me, woman
And don't mind nobody else
Ain't got no crystal ball
But the future - ain't hard to tell

Now, when i leave this town
Won't be - back no more
Yes, when i leave this town, mama
Won't be back no more
I've got the blues so bad
Standing 'round my door

Yes, i got the blues so bad
Why won't you let me be
I have the blues so bad, mama
Why won't you let me be
Now, when i go to chicago
Blues don't you follow me

Break:

I'm asking mama, mama
Please don't cry no tears
Yes, i say mama, mama
Please don't cry no tears
Because i'll always love you
Through all my days and years

Yes, i've packed up my clothes
I'm moving away from your door
Lord, i've packed up my clothes
Said, i'm moving away from your door
I've been your fool for so long
Babe, i won't play that fool no more

I gave you all my money
I work as hard as i can
I came home early one morning
I found you with another man
Babe, i've packed up my clothes
I'm moving away from your door
Said, i've been your fool for so long
And lord, i won't play that fool no more

Solo

So good-bye baby
You don't even care
Yes, i had a love so strong for you
But you treat me so unfair
Said, i've packed up my clothes
I'm moving away from your door
You know, i've been your fool for so long
And babe, i won't play that fool no more

Written by (traditional).


I went down to the station
I leaned up against the door
Yeah, i went down to the station
I leaned up against the door
I said good-bye to my sweet, ride on
I said now, she couldn't use me no more

It was a mean old fireman
And a cruel old engineer
He was a mean old fireman
And a cruel old engineer
Yes, takin' way my sweet woman
And left me standing here

Break:

I used to roll my baby
Till she - was forced to jump and shout
I used to roll my sweet baby
Till she was forced to jump and shout
Now that train pulls in boys
And i'll come walkin out

I heard the fireman blow the whistle
And the engineer ring the bell
I heard the fireman blow the whistle
And engineer ring the bell
I knew it was time boys
To - bid my baby farewell
Um

I'm a ramblin' pony
Rollin' from town to town
I'm a ramblin' pony
Rollin' from town to town
I'm a looking for a sweet woman - make my love come down

She's a marriied woman, yeah
Only nine years old
She's a marriied woman, yeah
Only nine years old
I got a woman i'm loving - keeps me fishin' all day long

Break:

Now, i'm, thinking this old feeling
Crossing this countryside
Now, i'm, thinking this old feeling
Crossing the countryside
I've got a lover now - she won't let old greeny ride

Now, i'm leaving this morning won't be back no more
Now, i'm leaving this morning won't be back no more
There ain't a rider in the city - keep me inside the door
