My babe's got a heart like a piece of railroad steel
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
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
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
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
If your woman mistreat you better off in your lap
I didn't find me nobody did not have a man
