I wonder why that southbound train don't run 
I wonder why that southbound train don't run 
Lord, you don't need no tellin', little girl, you know what you've done 
You made me love you, now, your man done come 
You made me love you, baby, now, your man done come 
Gal, I know you happy, but poor Bill's just a lonely boy 
I'm a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go 
I'm a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go 
Lord, if I can make it to the lowland, I won't have to worry no more 
Standin' at the station, Lord, waitin' for a train 
Standin' at the station, Lord, I was just waitin' for a train 
Lord, deep down in my poor heart, baby, that a lie don't ache in pain 
I've got my ticket, Mr. conductor man, can I ride 
I've got my ticket, please Mr. conductor man, let me ride 
Lord, if I make it to the lowland, I'll be satisfied
