Lyrics

Well I'm leavin', leavin', Mama
But I don't know where to go
Well I said I'm leavin', Mama
But I don't know where to go
I'm leavin' in the morning
On that C & O
I laid down on my pillow
And cried myself to sleep
Said I laid down on my pillow
Well I cried myself to sleep
I hate to leave you, Baby
When I love you so sweet
Wo-oh
I'd rather see my coffin comin'
Well right through my front door
Said I'd rather see my coffin comin'
Right through my front door
Than to hear you say
That you don't want me no more
Oh wo-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
