And I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand

Well, it's hard to tell, hard to tell
When all your love's in vain
All my love's in vain

When the train rolled up to the station
I looked her in the eye
The train rolled up to the station
I looked her in the eye

Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome
I could not help but cry
All my love's in vain

When the train, it left the station
With two lights on behind
When the train, it left the station
Two lights on behind

Well, the blue light was my blues
The red light was my mind
All my love's in vain

Willie Mae
Ah, Willie Mae
Lovely woman
All my love's in vain
