Good Lord send the sunshine : devil he send the rain

I will be here tomorrow : on the morning train

You don't know : sure don't know my mind

I don't show you my ticket : and you don't know where I'm
Going

Followed sweet mama : to the burying ground

I didn't know that I loved her : till they laid her down

I been to the ocean : peeped down the deep blue sea

I didn't see nobody : looked like my sweet mama to me

One of these mornings : you know it won't be long

You going to be mistreated : and I'll have to leave you
Home

I'm going away : mama don't you want to go
