And I lay down last night : tried to take my rest
And my mind got to rambling : like the wild geese in the 
west
I'm going to West Texas : won't be back till fall
If the blues overtake me : I won't be back at all
And I had one woman : would make a passenger train hop 
the rail
But now I got one : would make a tomcat heist its tail
Said I started to write : but I believe I'll go myself
Says a letter's too slow : and a telegram may get left
