My train is leaving
An i ain't got my fare
My train is leaving
An i ain't even got my fare
An if i start to walking
That train will beat me there

But that's alright
I'm going to do the best i can
But that's alright
I'm going to do the best i can
A man have to take a chance
If he wanna be a travelin' man

I left my babe
Standin' in the back do', cryin'
I left my babe
Standin' in the back do', cryin'
I told her she had a home
Long as i got mine

(piano)

'ah, kick 'em down, mr. kellly'

I stayed to satisfied
Very near all the time
I stayed to satisfy
Very near all the time
I don't know what's the matter
I guess i got a ramblin' mind.
