Yonder comes a train, a Frisco train
Comin' down the railroad track
I'm a-goin' away, a-leavin' today
It ain't gonna bring me back
I'm a-leavin' you, good mama
An' I ain't never comin' back
(yodelahee)
I'm a-leavin' town, my baby turned me down
Goin' back to New Orleans
I'm lookin' for a gal, a brand new gal
I ain't never seen
I'm a-lookin' for me a mama
Lord, I ain't never seen
(yodelahee)
If love was liquor, and I could drink
I'd be drunk all the time
I'd go back to town, in Birmingham
With a loving mama go mine
I'd go back to Birmingham
With a loving gal go mine
(yodelahee)
If you got a good gal, a good ol' gal
You sure better keep her at home
Casuse a red-headed mama,
Yes, Sir, boy
I can't leave her alone
Yes, a red-headed mama
I sure can't leave her alone
(yodelahee)
