Kokomo Arnold — Southern Railroad Blues lyrics

Lyrics

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
