Verse
Funny how she calls tonight I need her more than ever
I've been down in low cotton as lonesome as can be
And I think about her often boys and even when I'm sober
Read over the love notes, the ones she wrote for me
And if she wants one night, that'll be just fine well
Somebody fetch my walking cain, I'm gonna get my baby
I'm gonna run to meet her need a shadow o'er the pines
She's gonna hop that coal train, she'll get off on Harlan road
Love me till the mornin' comes, leave me like a dream
Instrumental
Verse
Buddy all I know, is I can't win for loosing
Either lay here in this lonely room
Or let her have her way
Buddy all I need is one night where she don't leave
This one just might be the night, she decides to stay
Somebody fetch my walking cain, I'm gonna get my baby
I'm gonna run to meet her need a shadow o'er the pines
She's gonna hop that coal train, she'll get off on Harlan road
Love me till the mornin' comes, leave me like a dream
Love me till the mornin' comes
