I got a mind to ramble

I got a mind to leave this town

I got a mind to ramble

I got a mind to leave this town

Well if I don't go to Memphis

I'll be Alabama-bound



I hate to hear that

I hate to hear that whistle blow

I hate to hear that

I hate to hear that lonesome train whistle blow

Every time I hear it blow, I feel just like writing to you



Well hello baby, I had to call you on the telephone

Said hello pretty mama, I had to call you on the telephone

Well I am here today, but tomorrow I might be gone



Said yeah

Well alright

Alright



I said goodbye baby

Darling if you really want to call back home

I said goodbye pretty mama

Darling if you really want to call back home

I got a new woman

She gonna move into your happy home



I got a mind to ramble

I got a mind to leave this town

I got a mind to ramble

I got a mind to leave this town



Well if I don't go to Memphis

I'll be Alabama-bound
