Turtle Dove Blues

I weep like a willow, more than I ever could do

I weep like a willow, more than I could do

I weep like a willow, more like a dove

Said, 'life ain't worth livin' if you ain't with the one you love'

If I had wings like another turtle dove

If I had wings like another turtle dove

If I had wings like another turtle dove

I would rather fly, fly to the one I love

It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer

It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer

It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer

Took my gal away, and then left me standing here

I was standing at the station waiting for my train

Standing at the station, waiting for my train

Standing at the station, waiting for my train

And the tears went down just like the drops of rain

Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round

Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round

Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round

For the woman I love, she done blowed this town

Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself

Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself

Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself

The woman I love, she can have somebody else
