- Hold him, Luke, he must be a bootlegger ! - I've been drinking all night, babe, and the night before But when I get sober I ain't gonna drink no more 'Cause my friend's left me standing in my door My head goes round and around, babe, since my baby left town I don't know if the river's running up or down But that one thing certain is, mama's going to leave town You'll find me reeling and a-rocking, howling like a hound Catch the first train that's running Southbound Oh stop, you'll hear me saying Stop, right through my brain Oh stop that train So I can ride back home again Here I'm upon my knees Play that again for me 'Cause I'm about to be a-losing my mind Boys, I can't stand up, I can't sit down The man I love has done left town I feel like screaming, I feel like crying, Lord I've been mistreated, folks, and don't mind I'm dying I'm going home, I'm going to settle down I'm going to stop my running around Tell everybody that comes my way I've got those moonshine blues, I say I've got those moonshine blues
