I said expressman, expressman, lord
You have parked your wagon wrong
Lord, you have parked your wagon wrong
You took and moved my good gal
When I was a long long way from home
Don't a woman make a man do things
And she know darn well that's wrong
Lord, she know darn well that's wrong
Lord that's why you hear poor James
Singin' these lonesome song
Babe if you never
You never hear me any more
Lord, hear me any more
Lord you can 'member one morning baby
When I walked up on your porch
Well I'll sing this song
Jim ain't gon' sing no more
Lord, ain't gon' sing no more
I'm gonna put this mandolin under my arm
To the North Memphis Cafe I'll go
