Bama Bound Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mister Engineer, please turn your train around
Mister Engineer, please turn your train around
I believe to my soul my man is 'Bama bound

[Verse 2]
Take me back, daddy, try me one more time
Take me back, daddy, try me one more time
And if I don't please you, break my neck for tryin'

[Verse 3]
But the train passed by, with my daddy on the inside
The train passed by, with my daddy on the inside
I could do nothing but hang my head and I cried

[Instrumental Break]
Hey, hey

[Verse 4]
My mama told me, my papa told me too
My mama told me, my papa told me too
Some brown-skin man is gonna be the death of you

[Verse 5]
I'm 'Bama bound, ain't got no railroad fare
I'm 'Bama bound, ain't got no railroad fare
If the blues don't leave me, I'll walk the railroad there
