Long Train Blues Lyrics

Robert Wilkins Long Train Blues

She walked down in the yard : caught the longest train
she seen

Say she ride she ride : till the blues lay off of me

It's a *bull* and a freight train : running side by
side

They done stole my rider : and I guess they satisfied

*They roll* in the Delta : ??? *leaves and rye*

Know I feel just like : she said her last goodbye

Well she won't write : she won't telephone

Makes me believe to my soul : that my rider's cold dead
gone

Well if I had wings : baby like Noah's dove

I would raise and fly : God knows where my lover was

I lay down at night : I can't sleep at all

All for lying there wondering : if there one rolling in
her arms

Laid my head on my pillow :

Take it down : I'm getting sick and about to die
