Mr. Engineer, please, turn your train around
Mr. Engineer, please, turn your train around
I believe to my soul that my man is 'Bama bound

If your train pass by, and and my daddy's on inside
If the train pass by, and my daddy on the inside
And I couldn't do nothin' but hang my head, and I cried

SOLO

Take me back, daddy, and try me one more time
Take me back, daddy, and try me one more time
Now, and if I don't please, I'll break my neckbone tryin'

Lord, I'm 'Bama bound, ain't got no railroad fare
I'm 'Bama bound and I ain't got no railroad fare
If that train leaves me, I'll walk that railroad there
