I’m gonna take a freight train
Down at the station
And I don’t care where it goes
I’m gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain
And jump off, nobody gonna know
Can’t you see, can’t you see
What that woman, she been doin’ to me
Can’t you see, oh can’t you see
What that woman, she been doin’ to me
I’m gonna find me
A hole in the wall
I’m gonna crawl inside and die
‘Come on let oh lady, now
A mean ol’ woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye
Can’t you see, oh, can’t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin’ to me
Oh can’t you see, oh can’t you see
What that woman, she been doin’ to me
Yeah, I’m gonna buy a ticket, now
As far as I can
And I ain’t a-never comin’ back
Oh gonna ride me a southbound
All the way to Georgia, now
Till the train, it run out of track
Can’t you see, can’t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin’ to me
Can’t you see, can’t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin’ to me
Can’t you see (I’m gonna take a freight train), can’t you see (down at the station, Lord)
What that woman (and I ain’t never comin’ back), she been doin’ to me
Can’t you see (gonna ride me a southbound, now), ohcan’t you see (all the way to Georgia, Lord)
Just what that woman (till the train run out of track), she been doin’ to me
Can’t you see (oh, she’s such a crazy lady), can’t you see
What that woman, been doin’ to me
