Studyin ‘bout that gal of mine couldn’t keep from cryin

Chorus:

Honey babe I’m bound to ride

Don’t you want to go

Going to Atlanta just to look around

Things don’t suit me I’ll hunt another town

Chorus: Honey babe I’m bound to ride..

Riding on a streetcar lookin o’er the town

Eating salty crackers ten cents a pound

Working on a railroad saving all I can

Looking for that woman that ain’t got no man

If I die a railroad man bury me under the ties

So I can see old number nine as she goes rolling by

See that train a comin comin round the bend

Goodbye me little darlin I’m on my way again
