I'LL RAILROAD NO MORE
Sung by: W.P. Detherow
Recorded in Batesville, AR, 7/14/52

 Click here to listen to the original recording
My feet is so tired, my hands is so sore,
That I scarcely believe that I'll railroad any more.

Chorus: Oh darling, oh darling, as I told you before,
Just make me a pallet and I'll lie on the floor.

I'll mend up my old clothes; to the grocery I'll go.
I'll get me some whiskey, and I'll railroad no more.

(Chorus)

My feet is so tired, my hands is so sore,
That I scarcely believe that I'll railroad any more.

Oh treat me, oh treat me the very best that you can,
For I've been so badly beated that I scarcely can stand.

(Chorus)
