Cottonfield 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.
I'm going to Texas : have to ride the rods
Just show me the train : left out of that Mobile yard
If you see my mama : before I do
Don't tell her faro : what road I'm on
Now the boat's up the river : and she won't come down
I believe to my soul : great God she's water bound
I look to the east : and I look to the west
If she headed to the south : she's Alabama bound
Said one of these mornings : it won't be long
You going to call me : and I'll be gone
