Verses:

Coming down from Tennessee, Ridin' on that line,

Thinking about my darlin', Couldn't keep from cryin'.

 

Riding on a street car, Looking over town,

Eating salty crackers, Ten cents a pound.

 

Working on a railroad, Saving all I can,

Looking for that woman, That ain't got no man.

 

Chorus:

Honey babe, I'm bound to ride. (Honey babe, I'm bound to ride)

Don't you want to go?
