Heart Like Railroad Steel
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.
My babe's got a heart : like a piece of railroad steel
If I leave you this morning : don't say dad how do you feel
I will leave her at the crossing : when the train pass by
She blowed for the crossing : then she started to fly
I got up this morning : something after five
And the morning sun Lord : was beginning to rise
Cut your wood : baby I will make your fire
I will tote you water : from the boggy bayou
If your woman mistreat you : *better off in your lap*
I didn't find me nobody : did not have a man
