Lyrics
Mamma's in the kitchen
Daddy's at the mill
Brother can't work
But sister she will
Pickin' up the cotton
Seed on the ground
Junior do the boogie
All the way into town
Eyes on the road
Hand on the wheel
Rollin' from Chicago
All the way to Mobile
Keepin' me working
At forty below
This train ain't gonna stop until Tupelo...this train ain't gonna stop until Tupelo
Well Lord don't cha ya know that's the way I am
Dancin' with the Devil down in Birmingham
But don'tcha worry mama
Don'tcha worry bout me
I'm drinkin' down a Cadillac with Brownie McGhee
I'm drinkin' down a Cadillac with Brownie McGhee
Granny got the shotgun
Papa got the switch
Trying to catch the gator
Way down in the ditch
Lord over in Georgia
At the Jaeckel Hotel
Listen to the blues
Of Blind Willie McTell...Blind Willie McTell
Well Lord don't cha ya know that's the way I am
Dancin' with the Devil down in Birmingham
But don'tcha worry mama
Don'tcha worry bout me
I'm drinkin' down a Cadillac with Brownie McGhee
I'm drinkin' down a Cadillac with Brownie McGhee
Baby done left me
Took the nation sack
Jumped the train to Alabama
And she ain't comin' back
But I got me a mama
With a heart and soul
She said anyway you wanna it, honey, let it roll
Anyway you want it honey, Let it roll...yea...
