From the recording Heartache and trouble
Lyrics
Catch that first train smoking and ease on down the road
Catch that first train smoking and ease on down the road
Catch the next the train leaving and I don’t care where it goes
Give me a ticket for the next train leaving town
Give me a ticket for the next train leaving town
Don’t care if it’s going to Texas or it’s Alabama bound
Mr. Conductor wont you let me ride
Mr. Conductor won’t you let me ride
Got the wrong girl, now I’m afraid for my life
Find an empty box car now I’m gonna jump inside
Find an empty box car now I’m gonna jump inside
Can’t afford a ticket and I’m afraid for my life
‘Fraid for my life
Oh for my life
