):

 I'm sailin' sailin'

 To a place I've never seen

 That's way down south

 Sweet 'ol New Orleans

 Cause my hometown friend treats me awful mean

 If I could holler

 Yeah holler

If I could scream and cry

 It hurts me so

 When I look up in the sky

 Cause my friends turn their heads

 As they pass me by

 Now it's rainin'

 It's rainin'

The wind's blowin' cold

 Lord I thought I heard

 My train whistle blow

 Now I'm gonna sail so far

 Til I won't be back no more

 Pardon me, Pardon me

It's so hard to stand

 I ain't got no money

 Uncle Sam has called my name

 Now there's not a soul

 To give me a helpin' hand
