On somebody's lonesome railroad line
Let that ol' midnight special
On Jerry Lee Lewis's back door step someday
Well, goodbye baby, may God bless you
Troubled in mind, when I'm little blue
When they throw that Jerry right over you
I'm gonna lay my head
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
Ease my troubled mind
On, on my back door step
Shovellin' mud directly in your face
'Cause that ol' sun's gonna shine
Bet you I won't be blue always
And may He bless ol' Killer a little bit too
Well, they tell me that old graveyard
Oh, don't meet you over yonder, baby
Is a mighty lonesome place
Lord they put you six feet under
