Smokestack lightning
Shining just like gold
Why don't ya hear me crying


Tell me baby
What's the matter with you

Why don't ya hear me crying

Whoa oh tell me baby

Where did ya stay last night
Why don't ya hear me crying


Stop your train
Let her go for a ride
Why don't ya hear me crying


Fare ya well
Never see ah you no more

Ah why don't ya hear me crying

Who been here baby since

I been gone a little bitty boy
Girl be on
