You passed my door brown : you won't even look in
You passed : just like a whirlwind
You can pass me up : try to ignore me too
You like you ignore me : somebody's going to ignore you
I lied down last night : I couldn't even sleep
I thinking about that gal : might make that 'fore‑day
creep
It's a lowdown fireman : dirty engineer
Done took my gal : and left me standing here
Then I asked the brakeman : let me ride your blinds
Say I'm sorry buddy : but you know this train ain't mine
Some people are happy : and some are burdened down
Some are *so ing* : some are so lowdown
