I woke up early this mornin'
I was feelin' awful blue
I woke up early this mornin'
I was feelin' awful blue
Well I felt so bad baby
Till I did not know what to do

I walked down to the station
And fell down on my knees
I walked down to the station
And I fell down on my knees
I had to catch me a freight train baby
Just to give my poor heart ease

Well blow your harmonica son...

What time do your next train leave goin' to East?
If I don't leave town
These women won't let me see no pea
