Little Girl in Rome - Uncle Sinner

I got a letter this mornin'

From that girl in Rome

Said she got somethin' for me

She gonna bring it back home

I got a letter this morning

I went down to the depot

I act like some child

Said to the ticket agent

«What train must I ride?

Got the worried blues, I

I can’t be satisfied.»

Well I’m goin' away-away to

Worry you off my mind

'Cause you keep me worried

And bothered all the time

I’m goin' away-away to

I got something to tell you

Just before I go

It ain’t nothin', baby

Turn your lamp down low

I got something to tell you, before I go

I went down to the railroad

I looked down the track

Thought about my little good girl

Come a-easin' on back

Yonder come my baby

Comin' down the line

With her headlights just shinin' like

Coaches all behind

Yonder come my baby

Well, I had one good girl

She strayed away-away

I didn’t think my little good girl

Do me this a-way

I didn’t think my baby

Do me this a-way

Well, if I could holler like a mountain jack

I would go up on the mountain

And call my baby back

If I could holler like a mountain jack

Mama, she caught the Southern

Daddy rode the blinds

She said «Baby, you can’t quit me

Ain’t no need of you tryin'»

Said «Baby, you can’t quit me

Ain’t no need of tryin'»

I got a letter this mornin'

From that girl in Rome

Said she got somethin' for me

She gonna bring it back home
