| Lyrics | What you gonna do when they send your man to war? What you gonna do, send your man to war? What you gonna do when they send your man to war? I'm gonna drink muddy water, gonna sleep in a hollow log I ain't got nobody, I'm all here by myself Got nobody, all here by myself Got nobody, all here by myself Oh these women don't care, but the men don't need me here Well, I'm going to the river, gonna walk it up and down Going to the river, walk it up and down Going to the river, walk it up and down If I don't find Corinna, I'm gonna jump overboard and drown If I could shine my light like a headlight on some train If I could shine my light like a headlight on some train If I could shinе my light like a headlight on some train I would shinе my light and call a real train Well, they tell me that southbound train had a wreck last night Lord, that southbound train had a wreck last night Lord, that southbound train had a wreck last night Listen here, section foreman, they ain't treating your railroad right Well the gal I love and the one I crave to see Woman I love, one I crave to see Woman I love, and the one I crave to see Well, she's living in Memphis and the fool won't write to me I said, little woman, what have I said and done? Hey mama, what have I said and done? Hey mama, what have I said and done? You treat me like my trouble has just begunYou might also like |
