"Oh-oh, I can’t go down, this dark road by myself,
This dark road by myself.

Gonna be early in the mornin’, ooh-ooh
Gonna be early in the mornin’, ooh-ooh
Gonna get somebody new.

Oh-oh, my mother died and left me,
When I was quite young, when I was quite young.

She said, Lord have mercy, ooh-ooh
She said, Lord have mercy, ooh-ooh
Oh-oh, on my wicked son.

Whoa, stop the train conductor,
Conductor let me ride,
Let the big boy ride, let the big boy ride.

You have to buy your ticket, ooh-ooh
You have to buy your ticket, ooh-ooh
Son, the train ain’t runnin’

Oh-oh, then I started walkin’
Down that, lonesome road
I started walkin’
down that, lonesome road

Don’t you hear me cryin?

It’s gonna be early in the morning, ooh-ooh
It’s gonna be early in the morning, ooh-ooh
Before you see me go.
