My baby got unruly 

An she called the chief police 

My baby got unruly 

Called the police up to my do' 

An I believe to my soul 

Gonna have to ride that M&O 

I'm a railroad man 

An I love that M&O 

I'm a railroad man 

An I love that M&O 

An when I leave this time 

I ain't comin' back, no mo' 

Now, don't the moon look pretty 

Shinin' down through the trees? 

Now, don't the moon look pretty 

Shinin' down through the trees? 

I can see my baby 

But I swear that she can't see me 

I'm in a world of trouble 

An I b'lieve I've got to go 

I'm in a world of trouble 

An I b'lieve I've got to go 

I'm gonna leave here, people 

Gonna catch that M&O 

(short piano to end)
