Pretty mama’s gone, she went away from me Lord I think she’s gone to sunny Tennessee Oh lord that woman she gonna be the death of me Oooh hooo yayee heee she’ll be the death of me
When my baby went she left me in the rain Talk about your trouble, talk about your pain Had to listen to the whistle on that lonesome train Yeee heee yayee heee Lord on that lonesome train
Well the lightning flashed and the thunder it did roll The lightning flashed and the thunder it did roll Just like this trouble that’s rolling through my soul Yeee heee yayee heee have mercy on my soul
There comes a time when a gambler’s luck is gone And when it comes he better leave them dice alone Some dirty rounder took my woman and my money and gone Yeee heee yayee heee he took my woman and gone.
