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

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.
