When they got there the old soul was gettin' up, you know, singin' and cryin', you know
I ain't got nobody take me to this train
[Spoken]
I know you ain't, old soul, I feel sorry for her. A'ter while, you know, she seen and continue gonna put out, she retched (reached) and got her two little grandchildren, you know, and she got up on the street, you know.
