Railroad Man Blues by Clifford Gibson

Clifford Gibson - Railroad Man Blues; Spanish tuning, w/Roosevelt Sykes, piano accompaniment.

I want all you railroad, railroad men to understand
I want all you railroad, railroad men to understand
You can't keep your woman and be no railroad man

'Cause a woman's very funny, she wants you around her all the time
'Cause a woman's very funny, she wants you around her all the time
And by you bein' gone, some old rounder might change her mind

I'm not tellin' you what I heard, I'm tellin' you just what I know
I'm not tellin' you what I heard, I'm tellin' you just what I know
'Cause the same thing happen to me just about a month ago

I was down at the station, makin' down my train
I was down at the station, makin' down my train
Every once and a while I could hear some old rounder call my baby's name

But if your woman loves you she will stand by you to the end
But if your woman loves you she will stand by you to the end
Nobody can steal your place, you can leave her with a bunch of men
