Anniversary Blue Yodel (Blue Yodel #7)

I was a stranger passing through your town

I was a stranger passing through your town

When I asked you for a favor

Good gal, you turned me down

Yo-de-la-ee-oh

De-la-ee-di-oh-de-la-ee

Honey, I'm so lonesome, I don't what to do

Honey, I'm so lonesome, I don't what to do

The way you treat me, sweet mama

I hope you're lonesome, too

Yo-de-la-ee-oh

De-la-ee-di-oh-de-la-ee

When you see me walking, hear me talking down that railroad track

When you see me walking, hear me talking down that railroad track

You can bet your life, sweet mama, that I won't be coming back

Please, Mister Brakeman, don't put me off your train

Please, Mister Brakeman, don't put me off your train

Well, it sure is cold

And it looks like it's going to rain

Yo-de-la-ee-oh

De-la-ee-de-oh-de-la-ee
