I walk down that lonesome line    Hung down my head I cry    I wept I cried under the willow tree    About the deep blue sea       My mama my dead papa    Can be found    And my brother    On the county road       Now I've been down that long plank walk    I'm on my way back home    You cause me to weep you did cause me to mourn    You cause me to leave my home       Your fast mail train coming round the track    Come kill my little blue-eyed girl    They took her down that smoky track    Brought her back on that cooling board       I'm looking down that long tunnel light    Just as far as I care to see    I have no money lost my blue-eyed girl    These blues won't set me free       You did cause me to weep you did cause me to mourn    You cause me to leave my home    I cried last night and the night before    I swore not to cry anymore
