Lost Johnīs sitting on a railroad track
Some thingīs out of whack
Blues this morning falling down like hail
Gonna leave a greasy trail
Gonna travel the world is what Iīm gonna do
Then come back and see you.
All I ever do is struggle and strive.
If I donīt do anybody any harm, I might make it back home alive.
Iīm the oldest son of a crazy man,
Iīm in a cowboy band
Got a pile of sins to pay for and I ainīt got time to hide
Iīd walk through a blazing fire, baby, if I knew you was on the other side
Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is over
Winterīs gone, the riverīs on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But thereīs no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes
Well, the world of research has gone berserk
Too much paperwork
Albertīs in the graveyard, Frankieīs raising hell
Iīm beginning to believe what the scriptures tell
Iīve gone where the Southern crosses The Yellow Dog
Get away from all these demagogues
And these bad luck women stick like glue
Itīs either one or the other or neither of the two
She says, "Look out, Daddy, donīt want you to tear your pants.
You could get wrecked in this dance."
They say whisky will kill you, but I donīt think it will
Iīm riding with you to the top of the hill
Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is over
Winterīs gone, the riverīs on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But thereīs no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes
Donīt know why my baby never looked so good before
Donīt have to wonder no more
Sheīs been cooking all day, it going to take me all night
I canīt eat all that stuff in a single bite
The judgeīs coming in, everybody rise
Lift up your eyes
You can do what you please, you donīt need my advice
Before you call me any dirty names, you better think twice
Getting light outside, the temperature dropped
I think the rain has stopped
Iīm going make you come to grips with fate
When Iīm through with you, youīll learn to keep your business straight
Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is over
Winterīs gone, the riverīs on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But thereīs no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes
The bright spark of the steady lights
Has dimmed my sights
When youīre around me all my grief gives away
A life time with you is like some heavenly day
Everything Iīve ever known to be right has been proven wrong
Iīll be drifting along
The woman Iīm loving she rules my heart
No knife could ever cut our love apart.
Today Iīll stand in faith and raise
The voice of praise
The sun is strong, Iīm standing in the light
I wish to God that it were night
The world has gone black before my eyes.
