For weary weeks I've waited hoping for the best Blues will make me ramble and the rails are leading west Feeling awfully lonesome, pleasure I can't find I'm going to leave you mama just to wear you off of my mind That old gang kindly whispers just fall in line and smile Mean mama haunts me and I crave some peace of mind I don't know where I'm going, I'm feeling kind of square I've been from several places and I'm going to be from here ♪ Seems there's something missing, there's feelings in my breast I crave to cover distance so mean mama give me rest I hear the rails a-singing, the sky is clear and blue I'm going to leave you mama when the train comes rolling through No money in my pocket, I'm loafing around so flat Soon I'll be strolling down that railroad track And when I'm miles away riding all the while I'll think of you mean mama, I'll think of you and smile
