Somebody : just keep on calling me
She got hair : like a mermaid on the sea

Make me down a pallet : on your floor
Make it ??? and easy : make it down by your door

I can't stay away : I done cried the whole night long
The good woman I love : she done packed her trunk and gone

Don't mistreat me : because I'm young and wild
Sister you ought to remember : that you once was a child

I don't feel welcome : and I don't care where I go
The woman I love : she drove me from her door

Said fair brown : where did you stay last night
Your hair's all down : and you know you ain't talking right

I'm a stranger here : just come in on the train
Won't some good man : tell me some woman's name
