(Jimmie Rodgers - Shelly Lee Alley)

I had a dream last night
I thought my good gal had gone
Well, I woke up this morning
She really had done me wrong
I know it's not fair
But my good gal has done caught air.

I'm goin' away, leavin' today
I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver
Don't jump the railroad track
I take her from that man
Gonna bring her home if I can.

--- Instrumental ---

My gal's been triflin' 'round
About a week I know
Several of my friends
Just told me so and so
She's findin' new man
And now I can't understand.

So I'm goin' away, leavin' today
I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver
Don't jump the railroad track
I take her from that man
Gonna bring her home if I can.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, it's true my baby's gone
I know it won't be long
We'll both be on that train
My baby's coming home again
She's been triflin' 'round
But now she has thrown him down.

Yeah, I'm goin' away, leavin' today
I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver
Don't jump the railroad track
I take her from that man
Gonna bring her home if I can...
