And I followed her to the station 

with a suitcase in my hand

And I followed her to the station 

with a suitcase in my hand

Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell 

when all your love's in vain

All my love's in vain 



When the train rolled up to the station 

I looked her in the eye

When the train rolled up to the station 

and I looked her in the eye

Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome 

and I could not help but cry

All my love's in vain 



When the train, it left the station 

with two lights on behind

When the train, it left the station 

with two lights on behind

Well, the blue light was my blues 

and the red light was my mind

All my love's in vain 



Ou hou ou ou ou 

hoo, Willie Mae

Oh oh oh oh oh hey 

hoo, Willie Mae

Ou ou ou ou ou ou hee vee oh woe All my love's in vain
