Lyrics

I wonder why that southbound train don't run, I wonder why that southbound train don't run, Lord, you don't need no tellin', little girl, you know what you've done. You made me love you, now, your man done come, You made me love you, baby, now, your man done come, Gal, I know you happy, but poor Bill's just a lonely boy. I'm a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go, I'm a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go, Lord, if I can make it to the lowland, I won't have to worry no more. Standin' at the station, Lord, waitin' for a train, Standin' at the station, Lord, I was just waitin' for a train, Lord, deep down in my poor heart, baby, that a lie don't ache in pain. I've got my ticket, Mr. conductor man, can I ride, I've got my ticket, please Mr. conductor man, let me ride, Lord, if I make it to the lowland, I'll be satisfied.
