Transcriber: Awcantor@aol.com Now, hand me down, hand me down My old suitcase An all my old dirty clothes Now look down, look down That long lonesome road Where you and I, I must go Now, which-a-way, which-a-way That rail, railroad run? Well, it runs from my window To the risin' sun Now the best, best of friends Got to part, part sometimes So why not you, you and I? 'Pick it!' 'My, my, my' (instrumental) I followed my baby To the station Even helped her on a train An tears came down Just like midnight showers of rain Now, where were you, where were you When that rollin' mill burnt down? Well, I was standin' in the country Just one mile from town Well, that old mill whistle, it did blow Like it ain't gon' blow no mo' I was just standin' here wond'in Where did my baby go? ~
