Standing in the station : waiting for my train
I was outdoors : sleeping in the rain
My mama's sick : papa's dead and gone
Didn't have no loving pillow : to lay head on
Thousand miles : baby away from home
My mama's sick : my papa's dead and gone
I asked the operator : how long the train been gone
Your train been gone : ever since this morn
Said the train I ride : it's eighteen coaches long
I'm a poor boy : I'm a long ways from my home
I'm a poor boy : ain't got nowhere to stay
Says everybody : sure done throwed me away
I'm down in Cincinnati : baby on the hog
I'm drinking muddy water : sleep in a hollow log
