"Rolling Mill Blues" lyrics

"Rolling Mill Blues"

It was late last night when my honey came home
I heard a knocking on her door
She got up in her stocking'd feet
And tipped across the floor

Tell me pretty mama, what evil have I done
To make you treat me so?
I killed no man and I robbed no train
And I done no hanging crime

The lastest words I heard my baby say
"What more babe, can I do?
I've done more for you than I'll ever do again
Goodbye, my love, goodbye."

Corinne Corinne, my loving Corinne
Honey let your bangs grow long
I ain't never bring nothing to this old world
And I won't carry nothing away

The Rolling Mill baby done broke down
They're shipping no iron to town
The longest train I ever seen
Ran 'round Joe Brown's coalmine

The engine was at the Four Mile Hill
And the cab had never left town
The train rolled off the tracks last night
And killed my loving Corinne

Her hair was found in the driving wheel
Her body's never been seen

Corinne Corinne, my loving Corinne
Honey let your bangs grow long
I ain't never bring nothing to this old world
And I won't carry nothing away
