De railroad bridge's
A sad song in de air
De railroad bridge's
A sad song in de air
Ever time de trains pass
I want to go somewhere

Oh, I went down to de station
Ma heart was in ma mouth
Went down to de station
Heart was in ma mouth
Lookin' for a box car
To roll me to de South

Homesick blues, Lawd
'S a terrible thing to have
Homesick blues, Lawd
'S a terrible thing to have
To keep from cryin'
I opens ma mouth an' laughs
