Intro
after quiet part): -
De yo del lay ee oh, de lay ee ay, de lay ee
It's raining here, stormin' on the deep blue sea
Lawd, it's raining here, stormin' on the deep blue sea
Ain't no black headed mama, can make a fool out of me
Oh de lay ee, de lay ee oh, de lay ee
Now I can see a train, coming down the railroad track
I see that train, coming down the railroad track
And I love to hear, the bark off that old smoke stack
Oh de lay ee, de lay ee oh, de lay ee
Talk about troubles, that's all I've ever known
Talk about your troubles, that's all I've ever known
Now if I hadn't have been a man, I would have stayed at home
Oh de lay ee, de lay ee oh, de lay ee
I may need clothes, I may need hat and shoes
I may need clothes, I may need hat and shoes
Makes no difference what I need, I never sing the blues
Oh de lay ee, de lay ee oh, de lay ee
