American Ballads and Folk Songs _____ ■ -■ - Just found following, from folloqing up a rf to Frank Warner collection on another thread Chorus: Watch her and catch her And jump her juberju, Release the brakes and let her go, The bums will ride her through. Chorus: Don't stop for water, Just catch it on the fly, Will I get Holy Moses, On the Pennsylvania line! Get out, get out, you dirty bum, You're on the Nashville train, Ten thousand miles away from home, Riding* an old freight train. or Ten thousand miles away from home My heart was filled with pain. Standing on the platform, Smoking a cheap cigar, A-listening for the next freight train To catch an empty car, My pocketbook was empty, My heart was full of pain, Ten thousand miles away from home, A-bumming the railroad train. •As sung by a seventy-one-year-old ex-jailbird, a one-legged, "retired" Negro in New Orleans, t Kentucky mountain version. From H. H. Fuson's Songs of the Kentucky Highlands.
