Alberta Lyrics

These blues are a little chillin′
Made about somebody that's goin′ away
And that's sad
And that gives you the blues

I went down to the freight depot
When that train comes a-rollin' by
I waved my hand at my mama that I love
Goin′ down that railroad track

She′s gone, she's gone
She′s gone, she's gone
And no cryin′ won't bring her back
She′s the onliest mother that I ever did love
Goin' down the railroad track

And I went down to the freight depot
And I looked up on the sign
Thinkin' ′bout the onliest mother that I had in this world
And I couldn′t help from hangin' my head and cryin′

Uh huh

It was fare you well, it was fare you well
And she's gone, she′s gone, she's gone
She′s gone down that lonesome railroad track
And she left me here to sing this song
