TV Is The Thing (6/10/53) - Dinah Washington

Well, looky here, honey

I ain’t gonna cry no more

I went to the depot and I, I looked up on the board

I went to the depot, I looked up on the board

Well, I couldn’t see no train

I couldn’t hear no whistle blow

Engineer blowed the whistle and the fireman, he rung the bell

Oh, oh, the fireman, he rung the bell

You know my woman was on board

She was wavin' back, «Fare you well»

If I had any strength I would set this train off the track

I would set this train off the track

Else you make me a promise

You gonna bring my baby back

You ain’t comin' back no more

I don’t believe you ever comin' back no more

You leavin' now, baby

Bet you hangin' creeper on my door

I’m gonna miss you from rollin' in my arms

I’m gonna miss you from rollin' in my arms

If I can’t get no stamps and paper

I’m gonna sit down and telephone
