Take care of my wife and my baby

A-tell `em I will be back home, someday

Take care of my wife and my baby

A-tell `em I will be back home, someday

Now, it was stormin`, it was raining

Man, the day that she walked away



I walk this old highway

Forty long days an night

I walk this old highway, now

You know, forty long days an night, yeah

Now, an I was just thinkin` about my baby

Man, she just a-won`t treat me right, yeah



Now, the sun is growin` hot, mm

Baby, an my shoes is gettin` awful thin

You know, the sun is growin hot, mm

Oh baby, an my shoes is getting awful thin

Now, an I was just wonderin` if my baby

Oh Lord, would take me back again, now?



`Alright Lacey, play`



(harmonica and instrumental)



Lord, the train is blowin`

An it is comin` around the bend, yeah

You know the train is blowin`

An it is comin` around the bend, yeah

You know, an I`m just sittin` here thinkin`

A-will my baby take me back, again?



You know I left my baby

Now, when she was only fo` days old

You know, I left my little baby

A-now, when she was only fo` days old, now

I just hope she don`t learn

To call no other man, `Daddy`

You know, that`s what worries me so.
