Well a‑my gal had quit me : the talks all over town
She left me a note laying on the kitchen table : saying daddy I'm Alabama bound
I went running to the station : wringing my hands and crying
Crying come back pretty mama : God sakes don't go this time
I done bought my ticket : daddy I'm compelled to ride
Say you done know when you had me : man you couldn't be satisfied
Then she showed me a ticket : just as long as my right arm
Have to be riding it so long : I expect you dead and gone
I had the railroad blues : I didn't have the railroad fare
Say my shoes hold up : I mean to walk the distance there
I woke up this morning : with traveling on my mind
Kept a‑feeling my pocket : and I didn't have a lousy dime
