Lyrics:

Smokestack lightnin'
Shinin' just like gold
Oh, don't you hear me cryin'?
I cry, "A-hoo-hoo, a-hoo-hoo, a-hoo"

Tell me, baby
Oh, who been here since I been gone?
Oh, don't you hear me cryin'?
A-hoo-hoo, a-hoo-hoo, a-hoo
Tell me, baby
Huh, what's the matter with you?
Oh, don't you hear me cryin'?
I cry, "A-hoo-hoo, a-hoo-hoo, a-hoo"

Fare thee well, baby
Oh, never see you no more
Oh, don't you hear me cryin'?
A-hoo-hoo, a-hoo-hoo, a-hoo

Stop your train, baby
Oh, won't you let a poor gal ride?
Oh, don't you hear me cryin'?
A-hoo-hoo, a-hoo-hoo, a-hoo

Talkin' 'bout smokestack lightnin' now
Shinin' just like gold
Oh, don't you hear me cryin'?
I cry, "A-hoo-hoo, a-hoo-hoo, a-hoo"
A-hoo-hoo
