Charley Patton - Presenting Charley Patton

Heart Like Railroad Steel

My babe's got a heart: like a piece of railroad steel
If I leave you this morning: don't say dad how do you feel
I will leave her at the crossing: when the train pass by
She blowed for the crossing: then she started to fly
I got up this morning: something after five
And the morning sun Lord: was beginning to rise
Cut your wood: baby I will make your fire
I will tote you water: from the boggy bayou
If your woman mistreat you: *better off in your lap*
I didn't find me nobody: did not have a man
