Says, I went down to the freight depot Lord, the trains come a-rollin' by And I looked out the window, and spotted there my love And I hung down my head and I cried Cryin', "Baby, don't leave me here, darlin' Lord, honey, don't leave me here Lord, darlin', don't leave me here And it's, babe, don't leave me here." But my mother and father both are dead My sister's in some far and distant land My brother's in some free sporting house In this World's gonna become of me? And it's what's gwine become of me, baby Lord, what's gonna become of me? Lord, what's gwon' become of me? And it's what's gon' become of me? My woman give me money to play coon can One dollar bill was all she had One dollar bill was all she had One dollar bill was all she had When I set down to play coon can I couldn't hardly play my hand For thinkin' 'bout the girl I loved so well She's gone with another man She's gone with another man, baby She's gone with another man She's gone with another man She's gone with another man Which-a-way do that Red River run, baby Lord, which-a-way do Red River run? Lord, which-a-way do Red River run? Which-a-way do the Red River run? There's some say it's both east and west, darlin' And some say it's both north and south Well, baby, it must-a be so When it runs by my baby's door
