Alias Charley Jones Blues Lyrics

[LYRICS]
Look out, you hobos, I want you all to hear
Story was told 'bout a brave engineer
They say Charlie Jones was a rowdy man
Talk it, the heavyweight wheelman with the marvelous frame

Charlie Jones was a man, you know
Believed in good times and always had the dough
"Why don't you [farm?] and be like me?
Have you a goodlookin' woman, let your Crow Janes be?"

Walked in the station 'bout five o'clock
He told his fireman, "Get the boilers hot"
Fireman says, "Yes, Jones, we oughta been gone
I know I feel like ridin' if it's all night long"

Just as the fireman got his load
Then the conductor hollered "All aboard!"
Yonder come my woman, runnin' [comin' near?]
Cryin', "Sweet Mr. Charlie, don't you leave me here"

On this train sat Miss Alice Frye
"I'm gonna ride Mr. Charlie's train or die
I ain't good-lookin', but I takes my time
I'm a ramblin' rider, I got a ramblin' mind"

Charlie says now, "I don't feel right
Dream't my gal was talkin' to a man last night
Quick as you get enough steam let's ride
I got the L & N blues and can't be satisfied!"

Charlie said with a smile so fine
Woman [?]
[?] happy heart
Told him the train gotta leave you gotta leave me out

The last place I came to sing this song
[?] got raided last Monday morn
The judge told me I'd better leave town
Doggone my black soul, I'm Alabama bound
