Little Children's Blues Lyrics

As I went down the railroad track
When that train come to rollin′ by
I waved my hand at the girl that I love, my mama
Hung down my head and I cried

My mama she's gone, my mama she′s gone
And she left me to weep and moan
She left me to weep and moan
Just to think about, my poor mother's gone

As I went down to the freight depot
When that train come to rollin' by
I waved my hand at my mama that I, I love
Hung down my head and I cried

She′s gone, she′s gone, she's gone, she′s gone
And no cryin' won′t bring her back
Anymore than I boo-hoo
She's goin′ further down the track
