Down the track this morning she did stroll

In an accident her foot got caught in a hole

Die for a touch of that cold hand

Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can

Trials and troubles are heavy for me

She’s a ramblin’ gal bound to leave her home

Bound to cry to touch her hand

Round the bend at 40 miles

Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
