Sonny Terry lyrics

My Baby Leavin' blues lyrics

Well, that train is leavin', and my baby got to go.
Well, that train is leavin', and my baby got to go.
Well, her mother is sick, and her daddy's buried low.
Well, I watched that train, till it went around the bend.
Well, I watched that train, till it went around the bend.
Well, I said I would never, see my baby's face again.
Well, that old dirty fireman, and that old cruel engineer.
Well, that old dirty fireman, and that old cruel engineer.
That old dirty conductor, waved that train away from here.
Everytime I hear that whistle, Lord, I just can't keep from cryin'.
Everytime I hear that whistle, Lord, I just can't keep from cryin'.
Well, that ol' dirty train, got that ol' gal I call mine.
If I could holler, just 'a like a mountain jack.
If I could holler, just 'a like a mountain jack.
I'd go way up on that mountain, call my lovin' baby back.
Wanna call her back, wanna call her back,
Wanna call her back, wanna call her back.
