I was a brakeman out on the Texas line
I was a brakeman out on the Texas line
Never had the blues
I was happy all the time
Met a pretty mama, from San Antonio
Met a pretty mama, from San Antonio
She had big blue eyes
That would knock a groundhog cold
She said she loved me, trusted her like a fool
She said she loved me, trusted her like a fool
But I soon found out
That she broke the golden rule
Then one bright night, the moon was a shining down
Then one bright night, the moon was a shining down
And I caught my two time
Mama turning her daddy down
I'm through with women, no more gals from me
I'm through with women, no more gals from me
Gon't to hop a freight
Back to good old Tennessee
