Luke Jordan My Gal's Done Quit Me Lyrics

Well a‑my gal had quit me : the talks all over town
She left me a note laying on the kitchen table : saying
daddy I'm Alabama bound

I went running to the station : wringing my hands and
crying
Crying come back pretty mama : God sakes don't go this
time

I done bought my ticket : daddy I'm compelled to ride
Say you done know when you had me : man you couldn't be satisfied

Then she showed me a ticket : just as long as my right
arm
Have to be riding it so long : I expect you dead and gone

I had the railroad blues : I didn't have the railroad
fare
Say my shoes hold up : I mean to walk the distance there

I woke up this morning : with traveling on my mind
Kept a‑feeling my pocket : and I didn't have a lousy dime
