Well I'm going away my baby
I'm gonna leave you honey now
Well that train passed by when you lay sleeping
I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
The only two things a gambler needs
Are a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's on the drunk
I once loved a boy in Cincinnati
I loved a boy in sunny Tennessee
Well a city boy will fill your heart with sadness
But a country boy's as good as he can be
