Did you ever wake up, between midnight and day?
Did you ever wake up, between midnight and day?
And felt for your rider, she done eased away
Fourteen long years, C and O run by my door
Fourteen long years, C and O run by my door
My fair brown told me this morning, she didn't want me no more
If you don't want me baby, what makes you whine and cry?
If you don't want me baby, what makes you whine and cry?
You put that thing on me mama, and let a black child die
Which a-way which a-way, did the C and O leave your town?
Which a-way which a-way, did the C and O leave your town?
She's gone west baby, Cabin Creek Junction bound
My mama told me baby, two long years ago
My mama told me baby, two long years ago
If you fool with that little woman, you'll have nowhere to go
Want all of you men, to clearly understand
Want all of you men, to clearly understand
This Alabama woman, sure going to quit you for another man
I love you baby, tell the whole round world I do
I love you baby, tell the whole round world I do
I love you baby, don't care what you do
