Well, I woke up this mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
Jimmy he's dead, he's been a long time gone
Been a long time gone, a long time gone.

If you want to get to heaven, gotta d-i-e
You gotta put on your coat and t-i-e
want to get the rabbit out of the l-o-g
You gotta make a cold motion like d-o-g
Like d-o-g, like d-o-g, yeah

Well, I got a good woman, what's the matter with me?
What makes me want to love every woman I see?
I was trifling when I met her now I'm trifling again
And every woman she sees looks like the place I came in
Looks like the place I came in place I came in

I got my name painted on my shirt
I ain't no ordinary dude
I don?t have to work
I don?t have to work
