an i got up this mo’nin’
a light on in my room
an i got up this mo’nin
a light on in my room
an i looked behind me
an i found my sarah, gone

if a man don’t never study
a-you will never have no blues
if a man wouldn’t study
you would never have no blues
but you get to thinkin’ way back
the way your baby used to do

i got a little, sarah
she weigh about ninety pounds
i got all a little, sarah
she weigh about ninety pounds
now but her mama an papa
they sho’ don’t ‘llow me me ’round

i’m gon’ sing you a song, baby
i ain’t gon’ sing no more
i’m gon’ sing this song, baby
i ain’t gon’ sing no mo’
i’m gon’ hang ‘is mandolin under my shoulder
right down front street, i go

i can hear that old train comin’
ah, it must-a-be comin’ after me
i can hear that old train a-comin’
must-a-be comin’ after me
an i’m gon’ slip right by
an call to my same old used to be.

~
