Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan - Blue Yodel No. 5 lyrics

[Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan - Blue Yodel No. 5 lyrics]

Where was you, mama
When the train passed your shed?
Where was you, mama
When the train passed your shed?
Standing in my front door
Wishing to the good lord I was dead

Yodle hee hee yodle one time for me, Bob!
Yodle hee hee i get my breakfast here
I get my dinner down in New Orleans
I get my breakfast here
Get my dinner down in New Orleans
(Or down in Birmingham) gonna get me a mama
Lord, I ain't never seen

Yodle hee hee

I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log
Than to stay in Atlanta
Treated like a dirty dog

Yodle hee hee

If your house catches fire
And there ain't no water around
If your house catches fire
And there ain't no water around
Throw my trunk out the window
Let the house burn on down

I'd like to do it another time okay!
