INTRO

You passed my door, brown, and you won't even look in
You passed my door but you won't even look in
You passed just like a whirlwind

You can pass me up, try to ignore me, too
You can pass me up, try to ignore me, too
Just like you ignore me, somebody's gonna ignore you

I lied down last night, I couldn't even sleep
I lied down last night but I couldn't even sleep
I was thinkin' about that gal might make that 'fore day creep, yes mama, you might make that 'fore day creep

It's a low-down fireman, dirty engineer
It's a low-down fireman, dirty engineer
Done took my gal and left me standing here

Then I asked the brakeman, "Let me ride your blind?"
Say, "I'm sorry, buddy, but you know this train ain't mine."

Some people are happy and some are burdened down
Some people are happy, some are burdened down
Some are sociable and some are so low-down

I lied down last night, gal, and I couldn't even sleep
I say, I lied down last night, I couldn't even sleep
Thinkin' about that gal might make that 'fore day creep, Lord, mama, you might make a 'fore day creep
