Rolling Mill Blues

The rolling mill, baby, done broke down

They're shipping no iron to town

The longest train, I ever seen

Run round, Joe Brown's coal mine

The engine was at the Four Mile Hill

And the cab had never left town

Corinne, Corinne, my lovin' Corinne

Honey, let your bangs grow long

The train, run off, the track, last night

And it killed, my little, Corinne

Her head, was found, in a driving wheel

And her body, have never, been seen

I didn't, bring nothing, to this, old world

And I won't, carry nothing, away

But late, last night, when my honey come home

I heard a rapping on, her door

She got up in her stocking feet

Went tipping across the floor

Tell me, pretty mama, what evil, have I done

To make you treat me so?

I've killed no man and I've robbed no train

And I've done no hangin' crime

The last'est words I heard my baby say

'What more, babe, can I do?'

I done more, for you, than I'll ever do again

Goodbye, my little pretty thing
