Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smokestack lightning, shinin' just like gold
When all you hear me cryin' whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Tell me baby, where did you stay last night?
When all you hear me cryin' whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
[Verse 2]
Yeah, stop your train, let a poor boy ride
When all you hear me cryin' whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
[Verse 3]
Smokestack lightning, shinin' just like gold
Well, don't you hear me cryin' whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Well, tell me baby, who been here since I been gone?
Little baby boy, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
[Verse 4]
Yes, I got to come out from underground, baby
Whoa
