Turtle Dove Blues

I weep like a willow, more than I ever could do
I weep like a willow, more than I could do
I weep like a willow, more like a dove
Said, 'life ain’t worth livin' if you ain't with the one you love’

If I had wings like another turtle dove
If I had wings like another turtle dove
If I had wings like another turtle dove
I would rather fly, fly to the one I love

It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer
It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer
It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer
Took my gal away, and then left me standing here

I was standing at the station waiting for my train
Standing at the station, waiting for my train
Standing at the station, waiting for my train
And the tears went down just like the drops of rain

Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round
Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round
Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round
For the woman I love, she done blowed this town

Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself
Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself
Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself
The woman I love, she can have somebody else
