Lyrics:

The moon is risin'
An' it done got lonesome here
I said, the moon's been risin', baby
An' it done got lonesome here
Although you're a long ways from me
But baby, I wish you were near

If I ever get lucky, yeah
An' win my train fare home
Well, if I ever get lucky, buddy
An' win my train fare home
Oh, the moment that I do, darlin'
You can say your man is comin' home, yeah

It's so hard
Tryin' to make it all by yourself, yeah
I said, it's so hard, yeah, yeah
Tryin' to make it all by yourself, yeah
Oh, an' the woman that you're really lovin'
She done gone off with someone else, mm

There's no use to cryin', oh
'Cause your cryin' won't help you none, woo!
Hey, I said it's no use in cryin', buddy
Because your cryin' won't help you none
You'll fall in love again
An' she'll keep you always on the run, yeah


I say, if I ever get lucky, yeah, that's my son!
An' win my train fare home, ooh Lordy
Have you ever felt like that?
Oh, if I ever get lucky, buddy, yeah
An' win my train fare home, yeah, yeah
Oh, the day that I do, angel
You can bet your life old Albert is gone, yeah

Oh, when ya see me comin', baby, yeah
I want you to raise your window high, woo!
Hey, when ya see me comin' home, baby
I want you to raise your window high, yeah, yeah
But when I turn to leave, little girl
I want you to hang your head and cry, woo, Lord have mercy!

Thank you, thank you for coming
