Hey Mister play that song
I been bound for Philly man I’m heading all night long
Gotta find me some money gotta get me on that midnight train
I been feeling down, gotta see my baby again
Hey mister play that tune
I been bound for Tennessee I miss that mountain moon
Through hills of west Virginia gonna find me on that boxcar cab
Lord I miss my honey bee with every town I pass
Well I don’t know why she left me
All I know is that I’m all alone
And I’m stuck here in this station
With her memory to sing along
So hey mister play that note
I been bound for New Orleans along that southern coast
Gonna ride through Mississippi, after passing through old Alabam
Lord I miss my honey bad as I wander cross this land
Well I’m sitting on this bench
And I’m waiting for that whistle to blow
And my mind it’s a wandering
But there’s something that I surely know
Well hey mister play that chord
The sound of that guitar’s got me singing lordy lord
Gonna get to California and up to Oregon
When this train starts a rolling lord, my baby’s long, long gone
