Now this is a story about the young man from Natchez Mississippi. Whose father took a steamboat called the Delta Queen to New Orleans. And got killed in a poker game.
Now you just told me that you're leaving. On the next train coming down. I love you dear but I won't follow. I just think I'll stay around. . For I know someday you'll want me.
I've slipped around, dear, two-timing you. Having fun now, like some guys do. But now I'm sorry and now I'm true. Forgive me, darling, its up to you. .
I'll never love another now that you've gone away. And left me here to grieve dear all alone. It seems, I always lose my dear no matter how I try. I'll never love another until the day I die.
I used to sit alone at night and worry little darling. For I thought you meant the world to me. But now things have changed and those days are gone forever.
Don't think that I'll be hangin' 'round while you're havin' fun. I won't sit there cryin' over you. Well from now on when you step out I'll tell you what I'll do.
You spurned the love I gave you, darling. A love you once was proud to own. You found someone whom you love better. And in my dreams I walk alone. . I'll just pretend that I don't love you.
I'll be on that good road some day I'll be on that good road some day. That same old train's gonna come back again and roll all my blues away. . Now darlin' you can't love one darlin' you can't love two.
Close your eyes, close the door. You don't have to worry anymore. 'Cause I'll be your baby tonight. . Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away. We're gonna forget it.
Are you going to be. A saint on that shore. Are the center left far behind?. . Don't you think of your soul. And want to be saved. Don't you want to go to Heaven sometime?.
One night as I rambled down by the sea shore. And wind, it did whistle and the waters did roar. I heard a fair maiden make a pitiful sound. It sounded so lonesome in the waters around.
Tonight I'm sad my heart is weary. Wondering if I'm wrong or right. To think about you though you left me. I wonder where you are tonight. . The rain is cold and slowly falling.
I'd rather be alone and have you dream of me only. Than have you say you're sorry that we are apart. I'd rather be alone and have you dream of me only.
I saw mom with God last night. I was mad when God took you from me but last night I could plainly see. That he saved you from lots of misery. A smile upon your face told me you were happy as you could be.
I still miss someone. At my door the leaves are falling. The cold wild wind will come. Sweethearts walk by together. And I still miss someone. . I go out on a party.
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds because you're mine I walk the line.
Well it's lonesome in this old town everybody puts me down. I'm a face without a name just a walking in the rain. I'm going back to Houston Houston Houston.
I know what it means to be lonesome. And I know what it means to be blue. I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams. When there is no one at home for you.
Honey, just allow me one more chance to get along with you. Honey, just allow me one more chance do anything with you. Well, I'm a walkin' down the road with my head in my hand.
Hot corn cold corn bring along the demijohn. Hot corn cold corn bring along the demijohn. Hot corn cold corn bring along the demijohn. Fare thee well Uncle Bill see you in the morning yes sir.
