Lyrics
Ah-oh, smokestack lightnin'
Shinin', just like gold
Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Woo, woo
Woo
Whoa-oh, tell me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Woo, woo
Woo
Whoa-oh, tell me, baby
Where did ya stay last night?
A-why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Woo, woo
Woo
Whoa-oh, stop your train
Let her go for a ride
Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Woo, woo
Woo
Whoa-oh, fare ya well
Never see a-you no more
A-why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Woo, woo
Woo
Whoa-oh, who been here, baby, since
I-I been gone, a little, bitty boy?
Girl, be on
Woo, woo
Woo
