Henry Thomas - Don't Leave Me Here Lyrics

I was standing on the corner : a‑talking to my brown

I turned around sweet mama : I went across town

Says I've got a girl : and she working hard

She had a dress she wear loving babe : says it's pink and
blue

She bring me coffee : and she bring me tea

She bring me everything : except the jailhouse key

Yes I'm going away : and it won't be long

Just sure as the train leaves out of the yard : she's
Alabama bound

I'm going away : and it won't be long

*Just ease your train eleven days* : I'm Alabama bound

Says the boat's up the river : and she won't come down

I believe to my soul pretty mama : she's *water* bound

I look to the east : and I look to the west

If she heads to the South great God : she's Alabama bound
