Yeah, smokestack lightning
Don't you hear me callin'?
Don't you hear me callin' your name?
Don't you hear me callin' you?
Don't you hear me callin' you?
Tell me where did you go last night?
Gotta know who you been with.
Tell me where did you go last night?
Tell me where did you go?
Tell me where did you go?
Fare you well, goodbye, pretty baby
Never see you no more, no more
Fare you well, goodbye, pretty baby, goodby
Fare you well, goodbye
Yeah, smokestack lightning
Shining like gold
Don't you hear me call out you?
Don't you hear me callin' you now?
Don't you hear me callin' you now?
Ah, stop your train, yeah
Let me go for a ride with you
Let me go for a ride, oh stop your train now
Oh, stop your train now
Fare you well, goodbye, pretty baby
Tell me where did you go?
Why did you leave me, oh?
Oh, fare you well, goodbye, goodbye
