Heart Like Railwood Steel - Charlie Patton

My babe’s got a heart like a piece of 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

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

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

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

If your woman mistreat you better off in your lap

I didn’t find me nobody did not have a man
