Wartime Blues

[Verse 1]
Whatcha goin' to do when they send your man to war?
Whatcha gon' do, send your man to war?
Whatcha gon' do when they send your man to war?
I'm gon' drink muddy water, I'm gon' sleep in a hollow log

[Verse 2]
Ain't got nobody, I'm out here by myself
Got nobody, out here by myself
Got nobody, out here by myself
Well these women don't care, but the men don't need me here

[Verse 3]
Well I'm goin' to the river, goin' to walk it up and down
Goin' to the river, walk it up and down
Goin' to the river, walk it up and down
If I don't find [Corinna?], I'm gonna jump overboard and drown

[Verse 4]
If I could shine my light like a headlight on some train
If I could shine like a headlight on somе train
If I could shine like a headlight on somе train
I would shine my light in Colorado Springs

[Verse 5]
Well they tell me that southbound train had a wreck last night
Lord, that southbound train had a wreck last night
Lord, that southbound train had a wreck last night
Sugar, the section foreman ain't treatin' your railroad right

[Verse 6]
Well the girl I love and the one I crave to see
Woman I love, one I crave to see
Woman I love, and the one I crave to see
Well, she's livin' in Memphis, and the fool won't write to me

[Verse 7]
I said little woman, what have I said and done?
Hey mama, what I said and done?
Hey mama, what have I said and done?
You treat me like my trouble has just begun
