Soutbound Train - Big Bill Broonzy

I wonder why that southbound train don’t run

I wonder why that southbound train don’t run

Lord, you don’t need no tellin', little girl, you know what you’ve done

You made me love you, now, your man done come

You made me love you, baby, now, your man done come

Gal, I know you happy, but poor Bill’s just a lonely boy

I’m a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go

I’m a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go

Lord, if I can make it to the lowland, I won’t have to worry no more

Standin' at the station, Lord, waitin' for a train

Standin' at the station, Lord, I was just waitin' for a train

Lord, deep down in my poor heart, baby, that a lie don’t ache in pain

I’ve got my ticket, Mr. conductor man, can I ride

I’ve got my ticket, please Mr. conductor man, let me ride

Lord, if I make it to the lowland, I’ll be satisfied
