Spike Driver Blues Lyrics - Singles - Hurt Mississippi John

She walked down the yard, caught the longest train she seen 

She walked down the yard, caught the longest train she seen 

Said, she'd ride and ride "till the blues wear offa me" 

It's two bullyin' freight trains runnin' side by side 

It's two bullyin' freight trains runnin' side by side 

They done stole my rider and I guess they's satisfied 

They rode in the Delta, kept on easin' by 

They rode in the Delta, kept on easin' by 

Know I feel just like she said her last goodbye 

Friend, she won't write, she won't telephone 

Friend, she won't write, she won't telephone 

Makes me believe to my soul rider calls that "gone"1 

But if I had wings, friend, like Noah's dove 

Friend, if I had wings, friend, like Noah's dove 

I would raise and fly, God knows, where my lover was 

I laid down at night, I can't sleep at all 

I laid down at night, I can't sleep at all 

Awful lyin' there wondering if someone rollin' in her arms 

Laid my head on my pillow, friends, it be's too high 

Laid my head on my pillow, friends, it be's too high 

Taken down with, I'm gettin' sick and 'bout to die
