Southern Railroad Blues Lyrics

Kokomo Arnold Southern Railroad Blues

Says my gal she caught the Southern : and the fireman he
rang the bell
And the engineer he left the station : just like a bat up
out of hell
Said I waved my hand : she didn't even look around
Said and I felt like dropping : right down on the ground
Mama here I am : down on my bended knees
Says I'm crying to the good Lord : send me back my good
gal if you please
Said now I got a notion : to leave this lonesome town
Says my gal she caught the Southern : and I know she done
put me down
Now my old bones is aching : and my hair is turning grey
Said I'm going back home mama : and I'm going back there
to stay
