What I hear on the mp3: Y' oughta been uptown when ol Reuben's train come down Hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. Goin' down the line where that sun never shine Skid on that cold ice and snow Don't believe I'm right, follow me tonight Show you what a [buddy?] can do Lead you to the east and I lead you to the west Lead you to the girl I love best Woman says so, I'll railroad no more Sidetrack my train and go home [?] says so, I'll moonshine no more Chop down my still and go home Never loved but that one little girl Sorry I ever loved her Pawn you my shoes and I'll pawn you the news Pawn you my gold diamond ring Never been so drunk I can tend to my drunk And my 900 dollars in gold Last verse would make more sense if it was "Never been so drunk I CAN'T tend to my trunk," but as best I can hear it, he's saying CAN, not CAN'T.
