I am just a poor girl
|
|
Trying to get back home
|
|
Waiting by the station
|
|
Barefoot on the stones
|
|
Seven years from Ponchatoula
|
|
Not one penny in my hand
|
|
Please mister help me
|
|
I come so far I cannot stand
|
|
|
|
He said We don't take no riders
|
|
No riders on this train
|
|
Go on ask the brakeman
|
|
He'll tell you just the same
|
|
I don't take no riders
|
|
Don't take no riders on this train
|
|
Best move on down the line, mama
|
|
Go on back from where you came
|
|
|
|
I done left my mama
|
|
When I was but a child
|
|
Took off with a young man
|
|
Started running wild
|
|
Seven years from Ponchatoula
|
|
Ain't nothin' gone my way
|
|
Please mister help me
|
|
Can't you hear a word I say?
|
|
|
|
He said We don't take no riders
|
|
No riders on this train
|
|
Go on ask the brakeman
|
|
He'll tell you just the same
|
|
I don't take no riders
|
|
Don't take no riders on this train
|
|
Best move on down the line, mama
|
|
Go on back from where you came
|
