My train is leaving

An I ain't got my fare

My train is leaving

An I ain't even got my fare

An if I start to walking

That train will beat me there



But that's alright

I'm going to do the best I can

But that's alright

I'm going to do the best I can

A man have to take a chance

If he wanna be a travelin' man



I left my babe

Standin' in the back do', cryin'

I left my babe

Standin' in the back do', cryin'

I told her she had a home

Long as I got mine



(piano)



'Ah, kick 'em down, Mr. Kellly'



I stayed to satisfied

Very near all the time

I stayed to satisfy

Very near all the time

I don't know what's the matter

I guess I got a ramblin' mind.
