For weary weeks I waited   And hoping for the best   But blues will make me ramble   And the rails are leading west      I'm feeling oh, so lonesome   Pleasure I can't find   I'm leaving you mean mama   Just to worry you off of my mind      That old kindly whistle   Just fall in line and smile   Mean, my mama haunts me   And I crave the peace of mind      I don't know where I'm going   I'm feeling kind of square   I've been from several places   And I'm going to be from here      Seems there's something missing   There's feelings in my breath   I crave to cover distance   So mean mama give me wreath      I hear the rails a singing   The sky is clear and blue   I'm going to leave you mama   When the train comes rolling through      No money in my pocket   I'm roving around so flat   And soon I'll be strolling   Down that railroad track      And when I'm miles away   Riding all the while   I think of you mean mama   I think of you and smile
