INTRO

Meet me down in the bottom, mama, bring my shoes and clothes
Meet me down in the bottom, mama, bring my shoes and clothes
I ain't got very many, but I got so far to go

And the only one thing, that keep me so worried in mind
Now the only one thing, that keep me so worried in mind
I've got to go leave, the woman I love behind

Now I don't mind leaving, but I got to be gone so long
I don't mind leaving, but I got to be gone so long
They got me accused of murder, mama, and I ain't done nothing wrong

Big stars falling, and it can't be long 'fore day
Big stars is falling, and it can't be long 'fore day
Oh goodbye, baby, I must be on my way

When I write you a letter, mama, mama, answer with a telegram
When I write a letter, mama, answer with a telegram
Cause I will not be contented, mama, until I get you where I am
