Don't Leave Me Here
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 was standing on the corner : a‑talking to my brown
I turned around sweet mama : I went across town
Says I've got a girl : and she working hard
She had a dress she wear loving babe : says it's pink and
blue
She bring me coffee : and she bring me tea
She bring me everything : except the jailhouse key
Yes I'm going away : and it won't be long
Just sure as the train leaves out of the yard : she's
Alabama bound
I'm going away : and it won't be long
*Just ease your train eleven days* : I'm Alabama bound
Says the boat's up the river : and she won't come down
I believe to my soul pretty mama : she's *water* bound
I look to the east : and I look to the west
If she heads to the South great God : she's Alabama bound
