[lyrics]
look out, you hobos, i want you all to hear
story was told ’bout a brave engineer
they say charlie jones was a rowdy man
talk it, the heavyweight wheelman with the marvelous frame

charlie jones was a man, you know
believed in good times and always had the dough
“why don’t you [farm?] and be like me?
have you a goodlookin’ woman, let your crow janes be?”

walked in the station ’bout five o’clock
he told his fireman, “get the boilers hot”
fireman says, “yes, jones, we oughta been gone
i know i feel like ridin’ if it’s all night long”

just as the fireman got his load
then the conductor hollered “all aboard!”
yonder come my woman, runnin’ [comin’ near?]
cryin’, “sweet mr. charlie, don’t you leave me here”

on this train sat miss alice frye
“i’m gonna ride mr. charlie’s train or die
i ain’t good+lookin’, but i takes my time
i’m a ramblin’ rider, i got a ramblin’ mind”
charlie says now, “i don’t feel right
dream’t my gal was talkin’ to a man last night
quick as you get enough steam let’s ride
i got the l & n blues and can’t be satisfied!”

charlie said with a smile so fine
woman [?]
[?] happy heart
told him the train gotta leave you gotta leave me out

the last place i came to sing this song
[?] got raided last monday morn
the judge told me i’d better leave town
doggone my black soul, i’m alabama bound
