The Blues: Southbound Train

Southbound Train - Big Bill Broonzy

I wonder why that south-bound train don't run

I wonder why that south-bound train don't run

Now you don't need no telling little girl

You know what you done

I have got my ticket I'm holding right here with my hands

I have got my ticket

I'm holding right here with my hands

Now I got a really good warmer

But the poor Bill just don't understand

I'm a hardworking man

I catch the devil everywhere I go

I'm a hardworking man

I catch the devil everywhere I go

Lord when I make it to the lowland

If I won't have to worry no more

I'm on my way to the lowland

Mr conductor man can I ride

I'm on my way to the lowland

Mr conductor man can I ride

Now I just want to come on run

Until I get satisfied
