I went down to Nashville Rode that L&N I'd seen that pretty gal standin' there Dropped/brought my tongue down to my chin Cause she's so fine I was right on time She took me down to 2nd street She said "I'll be right back" I waited there for seven weeks Then got back on the track And now we're through And I'm so blue Oh no, the trouble that I'm in Good times are over I got whiskers on my chin And there's a long lonely road, boys I'll be travellin' So long, tell my troubles to the wind Way down south in Louisville They showed me to the door They hadn't seen a railroad bum Since 1924 Its a rich folk's town They don't need me 'round The police came and got me They took/dropped me way downtown Guilty for this vagrancy And now I'm prison bound Up on the hill In Louisville Oh no, the trouble that I'm in Good times are over I got whiskers on my chin And there's a long lonely road, boys I'll be travellin' So long, tell my troubles to the wind If you're ever in Birmingham You know where I'll be found Standin' in line at the CCC Signin' my name down On the dotted line Puttin' in my dime So put away your whiskey boys Throw down your gamblin' cards Quit sellin' that corn liquor boys And sleepin' in freight yards In every town They'll run you down Oh no, the trouble that I'm in Good times are over I got whiskers on my chin And there's a long lonely road, boys I'll be travellin' So long, tell my troubles to the wind
