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
[Chorus:]
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
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
[Chorus:]
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
