She walked down in the yard : caught the longest train 
she seen
Say she ride she ride : till the blues lay off of me
It's a *bull* and a freight train : running side by 
side
They done stole my rider : and I guess they satisfied
*They roll* in the Delta : ??? *leaves and rye*
Know I feel just like : she said her last goodbye
Well she won't write : she won't telephone
Makes me believe to my soul : that my rider's cold dead 
gone
Well if I had wings : baby like Noah's dove
I would raise and fly : God knows where my lover was
I lay down at night : I can't sleep at all
All for lying there wondering : if there one rolling in 
her arms
Laid my head on my pillow :
Take it down  : I'm getting sick and about to die
