(Instrumental opening line)

I say the woman I'm lovin' caught that train and gone

Got the lowdown blues, and I sure won't be here long

Now I went to the station, fold my arms and moan

I say I went to the station, fold my arms and moan

Ask the operator, Lord, "Long my rider been gone?"

Let me tell you what that Southern train will do

Take your last dollar, Lord, blow black smoke on you

Ain't got no special, got no triflin' kid

I ain't got no special, ain't no triflin' kid

Ain't got nobody, mama, be a-bothered with

Lord, take me, rider, train me to your hand

Please take me rider, train me to your hand

Slip me in your darkest corner, woman, hide me from your man

You don't want me, rider, please don't dog me 'round

Just like you found me you sure can put me down

Ask you to forgive me, rider, now if you please

Mama, if that don't do I fall down on my knees
