Anniversary Blue Yodel - Blue Yodel No. 7 Lyrics

Yodelei...
I was a stranger passing through your town
I was a stranger passing through your town
When I asked you a favor, good gal, you turned me down
Yodelei...
You may see me talking, walking down the railroad tracks
You may see me talking, walking down the railroad tracks
But good gal, you've done me wrong, I ain't never coming back
It's the truth, honey
Honey, I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do
I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do
The way you treat me, mama, I hope you're lonesome too, Lord, Lord, Lord
I rode the Southern, I rode the L&N, yes I have
Lord, I rode the Southern, I rode the L&N
And if the police don't get me, I'm gonna ride them again

Yodelei...
Tell 'em about me
Look a here, mister brakeman, don't put me off your train
Please, mister brakeman, don't put me off of your train
'Cause the weather's cold and it looks like it's going to rain
Yodelei...
I like Mississippi, a fool about Tennessee
I like Mississippi, fool about Tennessee
But these Texas women 'bout got the best of me
