Walking back mile a lonely mile to see my girl

From Kentucky

Down the road something on my mind

I gotta get to my Marie

I've been away so long

Spend my years in the US Penn

I was a bad, bad boy

But I'm goin' straight again

I wrote her everyday

I begged her to reply

But she has left me now

I guess I'll die, die, die

Running back with lovin' in my heart

To get my girl from Kentucky

Hobotrain keep on down the track

'Till I reach my destiny

The world is larger now

I've been free from my six by four

I'm gonna buy me a whole new life

When I walk through her door

I only hope and pray

That she'll be waiting by

If she's no longer there

I think I'll die, die, die
