Amtrak Blues

Somebody come here and help me
Help me 'cause the man I love is gone
Yes, come here and help me
Help me, 'cause the man I love is gone
I'm so confused and worried
I can hardly carry on

Oh, trouble, dark days
Just can't last always
(Lord, I know)
I said trouble and dark days
Just can't last always
(Lord help me, help me)
So I'm gonna keep on struggling
I know I'll see brighter days
(Please help me, somebody, help me)

[Guitar solo]

My two sisters told me
Other people tried to tell me too
(Oh Lord, yes)
I said, my two sisters told me
Other people tried to tell me too
(Hey, yes)
They said, you don't change your way of living
That very man's gonna be the death of you
(Oh Lord, yes)

I know he's ornery, he's trifling
He's the type of man that just don't care
Lord, he's ornery, he's selfish
He's the type of man that just don't care
(Lord help me, help me, somebody)
He'd pawn the holy bible
Just to get his Amtrak railroad fare
(Oh, he's lousy, he's a dirty dog)

Oh, I love him, yes, I love him
Oh, I love him
Oh, and I don't mind dying
(You hear me talking to you? Help me, somebody)

I said I love him, yes, I love him
Love him, and I don't mind dying
(Oh, help me, yes, help me)

I ever run across him
I'm gonna crack his head
And drink his blood like wine
