Lyrics Children's Blues - Leadbelly

Children's Blues

As i lay down the rail-road track,
when the train comes a rollin bye
I wave my hand at the girl that I love (my mama)
bow down my head and I cry
She’s gone she’s gone
she’s gone she’s gone
and she left to weep and mourn
she’s left me to weep and mourn
thats right my sweet mama’s gone
as I went down to the corn weet store
and the train comes a rollin bye
I wave my hand at my mama (that i love)
bow down my head and I cry
she’s gone she’s gone
She’s gone She’s gone
and she aint never ever comin back
and the more that I boo hoo
she’s gone further down that track
