Alternate early live version
Yeah, smokestack lightning,
Don’t you hear me callin'?
Don’t you hear me callin'?
Tell me where did you go last night?
I gotta know who you been with.
Tell me where did you go last night?
Yeah, stop your train,
Let me go for a ride, pretty baby, you know,
Stop your train, I gotta ride with you.
Gotta ride with you,
Gotta ride with you.
Fare you well, goodbye, pretty baby,
Fare you well, goodbye, goodbye,
Never see you no more, pretty baby, goodbye,
Goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Yeah, smokestack lightning,
Shining like gold,
Don’t you hear me callin'?
Gotta stop your train, let me go for a ride,
Let me ride with you,
Stop your train and ride with you.
