Hide me on a coal train
Ride me on the blinds
Tell my brother I'm sorry
And my momma I'll be fine
They won't find me where I'm going
Way out past the debts I owe
When I get my new name
I'll send the money back home
But when I'm lonesome
And I miss my friends
Can a man make a home
Or does it make him?
I'll make me some plans
To pass some of this time
With poison in my blood
And dixie on my mind
Hide me on a coal train
Ride me till I'm blind
I belong to Chicago
I wish I was mine
But the way things have been going
The way the north wind blows
There's nothing like a crowd
To make a man feel alone
But when I'm lonesome
And I miss my friends
Can a man make a home
Or does it make him?
I'll make me some plans
To pass some of this time
With poison in my blood
And dixie on my mind
