Mississippi Fred McDowell - Freight Train Blues

Lyrics:

I got on that freight train; I tried to beat my way.
Lord, them rocks and gravel, Lord, flew all in my face. (What happened, boy?)

I asked the conductor, let me ride it blind. (Okay...)
I asked the conductor to let me ride it blind. (What did he say?)
Lord, he shook his head, said, "The train ain't none of mine."

(Left you shook up, then...)

I got a letter from Hot Spring. I tell you how it was read. (Feel any better, boy.)
I got a letter from Hot Spring. I tell you how it was read.
Lord, it's come at once, boy: your sure-'nough gal is dead. (...know whether to go blind, then...)
Come at, come at once, sure-'nough gal, sure-'nough gal is dead.

Said I left my baby standin' out back door cryin'. (Felt like somethin' else.)
I left my baby standing out back door cryin'.
I never felt so sorry, Lord, till she said goodbye.
Lord, she—, Lord, she said good—, Lord, she said goodbye.
