Big Four blowed this morning : at the break of day
And it sounds so lonesome : because it taken my baby away
Big Four Big Four : won't you please turn your train around
Because here I sit all down and out : with my head hung down
I tried to be as good to that woman : as one man could be
And I mean it's a shame : the way she went and left poor me
Yes I'm down and out : ain't got no money to ride no train
But I'm going to find my good gal : and bring her back home again
Please Mr brakeman : won't you let a poor man ride your blinds
I'm just trying to make it : back to that gal who is worrying my mind
