Now, I know the people
Is onna wonder, evrywhere
I say, I know the people
Is onna wonder, evrywhere
Because they heard of poor John
Was saw around lectric car
Now, catch the Central car for
Ride it down to Central Street
I say, I catch the Central car for
Ride it down to Central Street
Lord, Im onna ease it down in Rovers
Catch my baby out on a midnight train
Lord, reason why baby, I
I been so long writin to you
I said the reason why, baby
I been so long writin to you
Because I been studyin so hard
Lord, how to all sing these blues
Sing em boy, for Mr. James!
Lord, I lost my papa and my dear mama, too
I say, I love my papa and my dear mama, too
Lord, Im gonna quit my bad way of livin
And visit the Sunday school.
