I wonder why that south-bound train don't run

I wonder why that south-bound train don't run

Now you don't need no tellin', little girl, you know what you done



You made me love you, now your man done come

You made me love you, now your man done come

Now you leave me here worryin' baby, and I'm just the lonely one



Standin' at a station, now, waitin' for a train

Standin' at a station, I'm waitin' on a train

Now, deep down in my poor heart, baby, that a lot, an achin' pain



Mr. conductor man, please let me ride your train

Mr. conductor man, please let me ride your train

Now if I make it to that lowland, man, I'll be a happy man



Standin' at a station, tears was in my eye

Standin' at a station, tears was in my eye

Now that I've lost my best friend, how can I be satisfied?



I hear a whistle, wonderin' where is that train

I hear a whistle, wonderin' where is that train

Now that I've lost my baby, I've got all red brain
