Here is one version, from Rise Up Singing, ed Peter Blood-
Patterson, and attributed to Joe Parrish:

I know that I'd be satisfied,
If I could hop that train and ride
If I make Atlanta with no place to go,

Make it right down to the door,
Make it long, make it low, so my good gal won't ever know,

I'm goin' if I have to ride the rod,
And if I make Atlanta with no place to go,
Make me....

I'm tired and I can't work no more (2x)
Well I'm tired, lonesome, weary and I can't work no more,
Pretty baby now, make....
