Now here goes the Sunny Land

Runnin' on this Frisco line

Here goes this Sunny Land

Runnin' on this Frisco line

Now, that's the same train come through Jackson

You know, an stold that little woman of mine

Lord, e'rytime

I hear that lonesome Sunny Land, blow

E'ry time

I hear that lonesome Sunny Land, blow

Now you know, it make me feel lonesome?

'What man?'

Lord, just because I want to go

'I comin', Sonny Boy.'

I heared the engineerman blew his whistle

Now, an the fireman rung his bell

I heard the engineerman, blew his whistle

Now and the fireman rung his bell

Lord, said I hated to tell my baby

'What man?'

'Baby, you cry you a well'

'Let's just stay here, Mr. Sonny Boy, just stay here.'

Now that's all right, but I know

My baby ain't going to stay, alway

But that's all right, I know

My baby ain't going to stay, always

Now, she will get be-afraid, now an' thinkin'

'What man?'

Yank, an comin' runnin' back home, someday

'I can now.'

'Boy, if I am blue, now I blow wit' it.'

(harmonica begins - Sonny Boy)

Yank: 'Beat it out, boy'.

(harmonica continues)

Now, it was a low down fireman

Man, an really dirty engineer

It was a low down fireman

Lord, an a dirty engineer

'Yes, run off'.'

Well, they sure did treated me bad

'Why?'

They took my baby away from here.
