Heart Like Railroad Steel

Charley Patton

Compositor: Charley Patton

My babe's got a heart : like a piece of railroad steel

If I leave you this morning : don't say dad how do you feel

I will leave her at the crossing : when the train pass by

She blowed for the crossing : then she started to fly

I got up this morning : something after five

And the morning sun Lord : was beginning to rise

Cut your wood : baby I will make your fire

I will tote you water : from the boggy bayou

If your woman mistreat you : *better off in your lap*

I didn't find me nobody : did not have a man
