Depot Blues

Standing at the station
waiting for my train to come
Standing at the station
waiting for my train to come
Singing, Hurry up moonlight
let the morrow come

You can drive me to your station
but you cannot make me ride your train
You can drive me to your station
but you cannot make me ride your train
And if you treat me mean, mama, you
sure lost speed again

Do not call my self leaving
but you are driving me a way
Do not call my self leaving
but it's you are driving me a way
And when my blues is over
you gon' be sorry some sweet day

She got up last night
she crawled around my bed
She got uplast night
she crawled around my bed
(wonder what's the matter now)
I'm gon' love you a long time, daddy, or
else I will see you dead

Mmmmmm
mmmm mmmm mmmm
Mm mm mm
mmmm mmmm mmmm
That gal I love
won't act right at all

I woke up this morning
with the blues three different ways
I woke up this morning
with the blues three different ways
Had two minds to leave you
only one to stay

I left my kid gal
standing in the door
I left my kid gal
standing in the door
Hollering, Daddy, daddy
you ain't obliged to go

Rather drink muddy water, go
sleep in a hollow tree
Rather drink muddy water
go sleep in a hollow tree
Than to hear my kid gal
say she don't want me
