What you going to do, when they send your man to war
I'm going to drink muddy water, go sleep in a hollow log
Ain't got nobody, I'm all here by myself
Well these women don't care, but the men don't need me here
Well I'm going to the river, going to walk it up and down
If I don't find *fourteen*, I'm going to jump overboard and drown
If I could shine my light, like a headlight on some train
I would shine my light, in Corinna's brain
Well they tell me that southbound train, had a wreck last night
You little section foreman, ain't treating your railroad right
Well the girl I love, is the one I crave to see
Well she's living in Memphis, and the fool won't write to me
Now tell me woman, what have I said and done
You treat me, like my trouble have just begun
