Hand me down my walking cane,
Hand me down my walking cane.
Hand me down my walking cane, Gonna leave on the midnight train,
'Cause all my sins are taken away.
 
I got drunk and landed in jail,
I got drunk and landed in jail.
I got drunk and landed in jail, Had no one for to go my bail,
'Cause all my sins are taken away.
 
If I should die in Tennessee,
If I should die in Tennessee.
If I should die in Tennessee, Send my bones back C.O.D.,
'Cause all my sins are taken away.
