Be easy mama, don't you fade away

Be easy mama, don't you fade away

I'm goin where the Southern Cross the Yella Dog

Now, I'm pleading here with you

If I'm not around in your arms

Lord, I'm pleading hear me where you are

Bide your lonely heart

Been a desperad-y

And I didn't wanna ride no trains

I want to ride the Yella Dog world

While them red - green change

I wanna ride the Yella Dog world

While it rain, rainy day

I thought deep in my own family

Now, I don't remember a name

('two more verses')

Set deep in my saddle all the night

Don't remember her name

(But he didn't catch her name)

(So he kicked her off the train)

Got to shove her off the train

Police surround the car.

(Wasn't your sister round this car)

<guitar>

(Police push ya around)

(Pow-zing-zing).

(Gonna send you to Sing-Sing)
