Robert Wilkins — Long Train Blues lyrics

Lyrics

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
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
