Children's Blues - Leadbelly

As i lay down the rail-road track,

when the train comes a rollin bye

I wave my hand at the girl that I love (my mama)

bow down my head and I cry

She’s gone she’s gone

she’s gone she’s gone

and she left to weep and mourn

she’s left me to weep and mourn

thats right my sweet mama’s gone

as I went down to the corn weet store

and the train comes a rollin bye

I wave my hand at my mama (that i love)

bow down my head and I cry

she’s gone she’s gone

She’s gone She’s gone

and she aint never ever comin back

and the more that I boo hoo

she’s gone further down that track
