I had a dream last night
  I thought my good gal had gone
  I woke up this mornin'
  She really had done me wrong
  I know it's not fair
  But my good gal has done caught air
  
  I'm goin' away leavin' today
  I'm gonna bring my baby back
  If that eight wheel driver
  Don't jump that railroad track
  I'll take her from that man
  Bring her home if I can
  
  It's true my baby's gone
  I know it won't be long
  We'll both be on that train
  My baby's comin' home again
  She's been trav'lin' around
  But now she has thrown him down
  
  (Repeat second verse)
