An' he rode down through the gate; He said, "I'd better be makin3 time, The night is growin5 late," O my babe, my honey babe.
8 He rode across the bridge. And he looked up at the sky;
He said, "Pd better be makin5 time, The night is drawin' nigh," O my babe, my honey babe.

And he rode right through the gate, He said, "Goodbye, old Tennessee, Pm headin' for another state," O my babe, my honey babe. |
