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 the country : put my watch in pawn
I don't want it to tell me : that you've been gone
I had some tough luck lately : I got locked up in jail
I sat and called you baby : to come and go my bail
I'm going down to Georgia : then up to Tennessee
So look me over baby : this is the last you'll see of me
The last time I tried to love you : you were so very cold
I thought that I was standing : holding the North Pole
I can look and see the greenback : growing on that hill
But I ain't seen the greenback : on a dollar bill
I haven't any money : for a ticket on the train
But I will ride the rods baby : to be with you again
