Oh, stop this train
Let's go for a ride
Can't you hear me crying?
Smokestack lightning

Whoa, smokestack lightnin'
Shining just like gold
Why don't you hear me cryin'?
A-whoo-hoo, a-whoo-hoo, whoo
Whoa-oh, tell me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Why don't you hear me cryin'?

Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo
Baby

Whoa-oh, tell me, baby
Where did you stay last night?
Why don't you hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo
Whoa-oh, stop your train
Let her go for a ride
Why don't you hear me cryin'?

Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo
Whoa-oh, fare-you-well
Never see you no more
Why don't you hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo
Whoa-oh, who been here, baby, since
I, I been gone, little bitty boy?
My girl, be on
A-whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo
Oh, smokestack lightning
Smokestack lightning
A-whoo-hoo
