Harlan Howard - I've Gotta Leave You Baby lyrics

Did you hear that whistle blow don't you know what that means Gotta grab my bag and head for the track when I hear that whistle scream We both knew someday it would end this way my rambling fever would rise We've had lots of fun but the fun is done and I've gotta leave you baby Well a baby's gotta cry a bird's gotta fly a man's gotta lie and we all gotta die The days gotta end and the rivers gotta bend and I've gotta leave you baby Well I've had this feeling more each day this restless urge to roam Kept thinking back to the miles of track from New Orleans to Nome Do the goal still play around old Frisco Bay how's the fishing up in Maine Where the so many things tugging at my heart streams I've gotta leave you baby ( ac.guitar ) There's an Eskimo that I used to know I told him I'd be back Got a cowboy friend out in Nelaband who shared with me his shack When you've lived like a tramp in a hobo camp it kinda gets in your veins I know you feel bad I know you'll be sad but I've gotta leave you baby Well a baby's gotta cry... Yes I've gotta leave you baby
