Ragtime Texas

0

[Chorus 1]
Don't leave, don't you leave
Don't you leave me here
All night long, sweet mama
Don't leave me here
[Verse 1]
I was standin' on the corner
A talkin' to Ma Brown
I turned around, sweet mama
I workhouse bound
[Chorus 1]
Don't leave, don't you leave
Don't you leave me here
All night long, sweet mama
Don't leave me here
[Chorus 2]
I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
Yes, all night long, sweet mama
Alabama bound
[Verse 2]
And I got a girl
And she workin' hard
The dress she wear, lovin' baby
Said it's pink and blue
[Verse 3]
She brings me coffee
And she bring mе tea
She bring me еverything
Except the jailhouse key
[Chorus 1]
Don't leave, don't you leave
Don't you leave me here
Yes, all night long, sweet papa
Don't leave me here
[Verse 4]
Yes, I'm goin' away
And it won't be long
Sure as the train leaves out of the yard
I'm Alabama bound
[Chorus 1]
Don't leave, don't you leave
Don't you leave me here
Yes, all night long, sweet papa
Don't leave me here
[Verse 5]
I'm goin' away
And it won't be wrong
Sure as your train, sweet lovin' baby
I'm Alabama bound
[Chorus 1]
Don't leave, don't you leave
Don't you leave me here
Yes, all night long, sweet mama
Don't leave me here
[Verse 6]
Said the boat's up the river
And she won't come down
I believe to my soul, sweet darling
She's water bound
[Verse 7]
I look to the east
And I look to the west
If she headed south, good God
She's Alabama bound
[Chorus]
Don't leave, don't you leave
Don't you leave me here
Yes, all night long, sweet mama
Don't leave me here
[Chorus 2]
I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
Yes, all night long, sweet papa
Don't leave me here
