My babe's got a heart: like a piece of railroad steel If I leave you this morning: don't say dad how do you feel I will leave her at the crossing: when the train pass by She blowed for the crossing: then she started to fly I got up this morning: something after five And the morning sun Lord: was beginning to rise Cut your wood: baby I will make your fire I will tote you water: from the boggy bayou If your woman mistreat you: *better off in your lap* I didn't find me nobody: did not have a man
