K.C. RAILROAD

Ought to hear that lovin' KC blow
Oh, you ought to hear that lovin' KC blow
Blows like she never blown before

Going down that road feeling bad
Oh, I'm going down that road feeling bad
Lord, I ain't gonna be treated this-a-way

Ain't got no lovin' baby now
Lord, I ain't got no lovin' baby now
I ain't gonna be treated this-a-way

(repeat first verse)

My baby left me on that ol' KC
Oh, my baby left riding on that KC
I'll be riding if she don't come back to me

Hand me down my long-distance phone
Hand me down my long-distance phone
Ain't got no loving baby now

I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
Lord, I ain't gonna be treated this-a-way

(repeat first verse)

(repeat second verse)

(repeat first verse)

Riley Puckett, transcribed from 'Waiting for the Evening Mail' LP (County 411). No date for the recording, but I imagine it's from the mid-1930s. I don't know where Puckett got his version; perhaps it's related to an earlier version of the more commonplace song, or maybe he just cobbled together some floating verses.
