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.
I'm gon' grab me a train, I'm goin' back to Baltimore
Well I'm gon' grab me a train, goin' back to Baltimore
I'm gonna find my baby, 'cause she rode that B & O
I'm goin' to act like a
rambler
, and I can't stay home no more
I'm goin' to act like a rambler, and I can't stay home no more
'Cause the gal I love she rode that B & O
She said, "Daddy, I'm leavin', and I can't come back no more"
She said, "Daddy, I'm leavin', and I can't come back no more"
And if she don't come back, I'm goin' down in Ohio
(Ah play it now, you'd feel bad when she should leave you too,
trouble, boy, trouble...)
I never would have thought that my baby would treat me so
Well, I never would have thought that my baby would treat me so
Ah she broke my heart, when she grabbed that B & O
Now she wants to come back, and I can't use that child no more (not at all)
Now she wants to come back, and I can't use that child no more
'Cause I got another hot mama, and she lives in Baltimore
(Play it a little bit now boy, stand by you gonna hear it again, next year...)
