Charley Jordan - Big Four Blues lyrics

And that Big Four, Big Four, it's a mean old train to ride And this Big Four, the Big Four, is a mean old train to ride She took my babe away and left me dissatisfied Baby, it's all I want, mama, just one more crack at you I say, it's all I want, baby, just one more crack at you And if I don't make you love me, then I don't care what you do Please hold my head, baby, and let my whiskey run down Want you to hold my head, baby, and let my whiskey run down So as I can catch that Big Four and beat it on back to town When I asked that woman, Lord, to let me be her kid I say I asked that woman to let me be her kid She say, "You might get buggish, Lord, you won't keep it hid." I've got the blues for my baby, my babe's got the blues for me I've got the blues for my baby and my babe's got the blues for me 'Cause she went 'n' caught that Big Four, she beat it back to Tennessee Just a few more days and a few more nights ain't long Just a few more days, baby, no, and a few more nights ain't long You're gonna reach for your boiler and your blade will be gone
