Well that mean old, mean old 'Frisco, and that low down Santa Fe
Well that mean old 'Frisco, and that low down Santa Fe
Well it carried my babe away, and it blowed back at me
I was standin', lookin' and listenin'
, For that Southern whistle to blow
I was standin', listenin', for that Southern whistle to blow
Well she did not catch the Southern
Boys, now where did the poor gal go?
Well my mama, she done told me, and my papa told me too
Well my mama she done told me, and my papa told me too
Everybody grins in your face son, well they ain't no pretty
Lord I wonder, Lord I wonder, do she ever think of me?
Lord I wonder, will she ever think of me?
Lord I wonder sometimes, will the poor gal come back to me?
Yeah
Well I ain't got no, I ain't got no special ride here
Well I ain't got no, got no special ride here
Well I think I'll leave, 'cause I don't feel welcome here
