De railroad bridge's

A sad song in de air.

Ever time de trains pass

I want to go somewhere.

Oh, I went down to de station.

Ma heart was in ma mouth.

Went down to de station,

Heart was in ma mouth.

Lookin' for a box car

To roll me to de South.

Homesick blues, Lawd,

'S a terrible thing to have.

Homesick blues, Lawd,

'S a terrible thing to have.

To keep from cryin',

I opens ma mouth an' laughs.
