Now when I left out of Jackson

My baby was standin' in her do'

Now when I left out of Jackson

I rode that *M&O



Now, my baby like the Chevrolet

But I believe I'll buy a V8 Fo'

She say, 'Is he too fast

To try to hold in the road?'



Well, I'm goin' back to Jackson

Good old Jackson, Tennessee

I can't do no good up here

I've gotten the jinx on me



(harmonica & guitar)



A-yon' come my baby

I can tell by the way she walk

I wouldn't know her so well

But I can tell by the way she talks



Oh, now tell me baby

Sweet, now wha'cha want me to do?

You think that I can love you

And be yo' little doggie?



(harmonica and guitar)



Well, mother told me, an' told me

My father he sat down an' cried

She say, 'You too young-a-man, son

To have them many women on yo' side.



~

*M&O - Mobile & Ohio Railroad
