I went down to the river

Just thirty-one days and nights

I went down to the river

Just thirty-one days and nights

I'm lookin for my good gal

Come back and treat me right

I ain't got me nobody

Car' my troubles to

I ain't got me nobody

Car' my troubles to

I tell you peoples

I don't know what to do

Just as sho' as yo train

Lord, backs up in your yard

Just as sho' as yo train, hear me

Lord, backs up in your yard

I'm goin to see my baby

If I have to ride the rods

I went away last summer

Got back in the fall

Went away last summer

Got back in the fall

My mind hadn't a-changed

I wouldn't a-come back a'tall

You can press my jumper

Iron my *overhauls

You can press my jumper

Iron on my overhauls

I'm going to the station

Meet the Cannonball.

*overhauls=overalls<br />
