Anniversary Blue Yodel -

I was a stranger passing through your town

Honey, I was a stranger passing through your town

When I asked you a favor, good gal you turned me down

Sure did

You may see me talking, walking down that railroad track

You may see me talking, walking down that railroad track

But good gal you done me wrong, I ain’t never coming back

It’s the truth, honey

Honey, I’m so lonesome, I don’t know what to do

Honey, I’m so lonesome, I don’t know what to do

They way you treat me, mama, Lord, I hope you’re lonesome too

Lord, Lord, Lord

Pick one boy

And man, let’s go to town

I’ve rode the Southern, I’ve rode that L and N, yes I have

I’ve rode the Southern, I’ve rode that L and N

And if the police don’t get me, I’m gonna ride them again

Say hey, mister break man, don’t put me off your train

Please, mister break man, don’t put me off your train

'Cause the weather is cold and it looks like it’s going to rain

Rain, rain

Hey, I like Mississippi, I fool about Tennessee

I like Mississippi, fool about Tennessee

But these Texas women, 'bout got the best of me
