I caught her sleepin'
Long old lonesome cell
I caught her sleepin' dead
Long old lonesome cell
If it wasn't for heaven
I would be in hell

Kill the old grey mule
Burn down that old man's barn
Kill the old grey mule
Burn down that old man's barn
I didn't mean no trouble
I didn't mean no harm

You can love me or leave me
Anything you wanna do
Love me or leave me
Anything you wanna do
Strange things are happenin'
One day might happen to you

Evening train gone dead
Morning train never comes
Evening train gone dead
Morning train never comes
I'm gonna sit right here
'Til my work is done
