You passed my door brown: You won't even look in
You passed: Just like a whirlwind

You can pass me up: Try to ignore me too
You like you ignore me: Somebody's going to ignore you

I lied down last night: I couldn't even sleep
I thinking about that gal: Might make that 'fore‑day
Creep

It's a lowdown fireman: Dirty engineer
Done took my gal: And left me standing here

Then I asked the brakeman: Let me ride your blinds
Say I'm sorry buddy: But you know this train ain't mine

Some people are happy: And some are burdened down
Some are so ing: Some are so lowdown
