I left my home in Georgia
Left on the four o'clock train
Had me a world of trouble
Findin' one good man

Oh, my, my, my, my sweet Papa
You're drivin' me insane
You picked me upon Friday
And let me down again

You gave me clothes and money
Put me up in a great big house
Then you left me lonely
When your train pulled out

The blues have kept me company
The blues have been my friend
The blues are my reminder
Never to trust a walkin' man
