Black Horse Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Tell me, I want to know] what time : do the trains come through your town
I want to laugh and talk : with a long‑haired teasing brown
One goes south at eight : and it's one goes north at nine
I got to have a good talk : with that long‑haired brown of mine
Go and get my black horse : and saddle up my grey mare
I'm going home to my good gal : she's in the world somewhere
I can't count the times : that I'm so unsatisfied
Sugar the blues ain't on me : but things ain't going on right
