i As I set down to play tin-can,* I could not play my hand, For thinking of the woman that I once did love, Run away with another man. Run away with another man, poor boy, Run away with another man, For thinking of the woman that I once did love, Run away with another man,
2 I went down to the big depot, The train came rolling by j
I looked into the window, seen the woman that I loved,
Bowed down my head and cried,
Bowed down my head and cried, poor boy,
Bowed my head and cried,
I looked into the window, seen the woman that I loved,
Bowed down my head and cried.
3 I caught the back end of the train, I walked right down the aisle,
I pulled out my big 40-some-odd, And I shot that brown-skin child.
4 "Oh, Judge, oh, Judge, kind-hearted Judge, Oh, what are you going to do with me?" aIf I find you guilty, poor boy,
Going to sentence you to the penitentiaree."
5 The Judge he found me guilty, boys, And the clerk he wrote it down;
He turned me over to the contractor,. And now Pm penitentiaree-bound.
6 The night was dark and stormy, boys, It sure did look like rain 3
Not a friend in all this wide, wide world, Nobody knowed my name.
* Usually sung "coon-can." |
