[Verse 1] 

Did you ever go down on the Mobile and K C line

Did you ever go down on the Mobile and K C line

I just want to ask you

Did you ever see that gal of mine

[Verse 2] 

I rode the Central and I hustled the L and N

I rode the Central and I hustled the L and N

The Alabama women

They live like section men

[Verse 3] 

Don’t cry baby your papa will be home some day

Don’t cry baby your papa will be home some day

I’ve been away baby

But I did not go to stay

[Verse 4] 

Don’t the clouds look lonesome

Across the deep blue sea

Don’t the clouds look lonesome

Across the deep blue sea

Don’t my gal look good

When she’s coming after me
