I asked for water

Then she give me gasoline

I'd ask for water

Gave me gasoline

I asked for water

Then she give me gasoline

Lord, Good Lordy, Lord

Cried, Lord I wonder

Will I ever get back home?

Cried, Lord I wonder

Will I ever get back home?

Lord, Good Lordy, Lord

I went to the depot

Looked upon the board

I looked all over

How long had this eastbound

Train been gone?

He done taken your faror

Blown his smoke on you

He done taken yo'r

Blow'd the smoke on you

Lord, Good Lordy, Lord

Lord, I ask the conductor

'Could I ride the blind?'

'Wanna know could a broke man

Ride the blinds'

'Son, buy yo' ticket, buy yo' ticket

'Cause this train ain't none of mine

'Son, buy yo' ticket

Train ain't none of mine'

'Son, buy yo' ticket

'Son, this train ain't none of mine'

Lord, Good Lordy, Lord

'Train is none of mine'.
