Lyr Req: Dark Hollow (Bill Browning)

Need verses for Dark Hollow (think that's the name)

I only know one verse:
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
where the sun refuse to shine
than be here alone, knowing that you've gone
it'd cause me to lose my mind

So blow your whistle freight train
carry me far on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going, and I ain't coming back

Anybody know any other verses? Thanks

1: I'd rather be in some dark hollow,
Where the sun don't never shine,
Than to be at home alone, knowin' that you're gone,
Would cause me to lose my mind.

CH: So blow your whistle, freight train,
Blow it far on down the track.
I'm goin' away, I'm leavin' today,
I'm goin', but I ain't comin' back.

2: I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't never shine,
Than to be in this big city,
In a small room with you, love, on my mind.

Here is one version...

DARK HOLLOW
Recorded by: Ralph Stanley
Writer: Bill Browning

I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be at home alone, knowin' that she's gone
That'd cause me to lose my mind.

CHORUS
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm goin' away, I'm leavin' today
I'm a-goin', but I ain't comin' back.

I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be in this big city
In a small room with you on my mind.

CHORUS
