I got a mind to ramble   I got a mind to leave this town   I got a mind to ramble   I got a mind to leave this town   Well if I don't go to memphis   I'll be alabama-bound      I hate to hear that   I hate to hear that whistle blow   I hate to hear that   I hate to hear that lonesome train whistle blow   Every time I hear it blow, I feel just like writing to you      Well hello baby, I had to call you on the telephone   Said hello pretty mama, I had to call you on the telephone   Well I am here today, but tomorrow I might be gone      Said yeah   Well alright   Alright      I said goodbye baby   Darling if you really want to call back home   I said goodbye pretty mama   Darling if you really want to call back home   I got a new woman   She gonna move into your happy home      I got a mind to ramble   I got a mind to leave this town   I got a mind to ramble   I got a mind to leave this town      Well if I don't go to memphis   I'll be alabama-bound
