All
day I've been so lonely
All day I've been so blue
Time nearly is drawing nearer
When you take me away from you
I got the blues in Cincinnati
Then I went to Newport town
Kentucky is where I got in trouble,
I shot another fellow down
He undercomes that fast
express baby,
he undercomes that fast express
I say
Gentleman he's riding, riding,
coming here to take your man away
We've seen a lot together
Baby, just you and I
Good times and all kinds of weather
But good times done passed
me by
There'll be no other, darlin'
To take my place, you say
But if you should double -cross me,
I'll make you pay
someday.
Yonder comes that fast express,
baby.
Yonder comes that fast express,
I say.
There's a man, he's ridin',
ridin',
comin' here to take your man away.
Last time I saw you, baby,
the dress that you wore
was red
Nobody knows how I love you,
don't let nobody sleep in my bed
Down in some lonesome valley,
I'll be so lonesome, you know
How can I ever stand it
without any place to go?
Here comes that fast express, baby
Here comes that fast express, I say
Gentle man, he's ridin', ridin'
Com in' here to take your man away
