INTRO
Lord, I hate to hear that Erie Train whistle when it blows
Lord, I hate to hear that Erie Train whistle when it blows
It gives me a feelin' that I never had before
Oooo-oooo, that Erie's got my babe and gone
Oooo-oooo, that Erie's got my babe and gone
That's the reason why, people, you hear me sing this song
The Erie, I swear, is a mountain jack
That Erie, Lord, is a mountain jack
That train come and stole my baby, people, swear it won't bring her back
SOLO (Spoken: Play'em, boy, play 'em. Oh, play the blues now, for me. I'm so darn worried about my woman. Play 'em, Mr. Walter Davis. Sure sounds like the blues, boy. I've got the blues, too, about Jane.)
Oooo-oooo, Erie got my babe and gone
Mmm-mmm, Erie got my babe and gone
Then you know by that, people, I won't be here long
