(Jimmie Skinner)

Honey, you don't know my mind I'm lonesome all the time
Born to lose a drifter that's me
He can travel for so long then a rambler's heart goes wrong
Oh baby, you don't know my mind today.

I've heard the music of the rails, slept in every dirty old jail
Now life's too short for you to worry me
When I find that I can't win I'll be checkin' out again
Oh baby you don't know my mind today.

--- Instrumental ---

Been a hobo and a tramp, my soul has done then stamped
And the things I know I've learned a hard, hard way
You think I'm sweet and kind, I can love a thousand times
Little baby you don't know my mind today.

Honey, you don't know my mind, I'm lonesome all the time
I've travelled fast on the hard road you say
You can travel for so long then a rambler's heart goes wrong
Little baby you don't know my mind today.

Honey baby, you don't know my mind today...
