Merle Haggard - Anniversary Blue Yodel lyrics

I was a stranger passing through your town
Honey, I was a stranger
Passing through your town
When I asked you a favor, good gal
You turned me down sure did

You may see me talking and
Walking down the railroad track
You may see me talking
Walking down the railroad track
But good gal, you done me wrong
I ain't never coming back
It's the truth, honey

Yo-de lay-ee ad-ee oh ay

Honey, I'm so lonesome
I don't know what to do
Honey, I'm so lonesome
I don't know what to do
They way you treat me, Mama, Lord
I hope you're lonesome too lord, Lord, Lord

Yo-de lay-ee ad-ee oh ay pick one, boy
And man, let's go to town

I rode the Southern, I rode the L&N
Yes I have
I rode the Southern, I rode the L&N
And if the police don't get me
I'm gonna ride them again

Say hey Mr brakeman
Don't put me off your train
Please, Mr brakeman
Don't put me off your train
'Cause the weather is cold and it
Looks like it's going to rain

Yo-de lay-ee rain rain

Hey, I like Mississippi
I fool about Tennessee
I like Mississippi, fool about Tennessee
But these Texas women about got
The best of me

Yo-de lay-ee ad-ee ay hee hee
