Walking around at midnight
Looking for my marking stone
Walking around at midnight
Looking for my marking stone
I was born an honest way
I was born an honest way
I sure don't mind
One foot go the right way
Other one won't be
One foot go the right way
The other won't be
I feel like I'm itching
I feel like I'm itching
I'm gonna jump down in my grave
Well I am an old man
I've got nothing more to say
Well I am an old man
I've got nothing more to say
I got one foot in the bone yard
And the other one I pray
I ride me a train
Take me to higher ground
I'm gonna ride me a train
Take me to higher ground
I wondered on back home
I wondered on back home
I wondered but it keeps bringing me down
