Headed south to work on a pipeline
Makin' hay and Lord in the meantime

Baby jumped a bird and she flew away
Lordy, Lord, while my mind's achin'

With anything that comes my way
Staggered to the Greyhound station
Tellin' him my destination

Left her back in Frisco Lord she begged me not to go

Somebody must have told her that I trifle and I lied

Headed south to work on a pipeline
Makin' hay and Lord in the meantime

Lord I got them Mobile blues today
