[Verse 1]
I don't want you, mean mama
There ain't no use you hanging around
For I found me another mama
And now I am Chicago bound

[Chorus]
You've been fooling me, baby
You've been telling me your lies
When I thought you were an angel
Just sent down from the skies

[Verse 2]
Sing those parting blues to me, sweet Nell
When you leave you'll leave me sad
Because my daddy's gone and left me
I just wouldn't treat him right

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I wouldn't give him much loving
Wouldn't stay home at night
Now I hear the train a-coming
He has gone out of sight
[Chorus]
