The Midnite Choo Choo Left for Alabam' D'ya know the midnite choo choo left for Alabam'? It pulled right out and left me stranded where I am. I memorized the schedule, and my watch is right, But that choo choo's whistlin' bye bye out there in the night. I won't see stars above the fields of newmown hay, 'Cause that conductor man done took his train away. They say a wire's waitin' for me from my Honey Lamb. I'm sure she's sayin', "Hurry, Dearie, come to where I am," But there's nothin' I can do about it; I'm in a jam, Because that midnite choo choo's gone and left for Alabam'. I watched the observation car go out of sight, And I was left alone and shiverin' in the night. I slaved to make my fare and hoarded every cent, And when I got down to the station, CHARLIE, THERE SHE WENT! I won't see stars above the fields of newmown hay, 'Cause that conductor man done took his train away! And now I'm gonna read that wire from my Honey Lamb; She says she's got a brand new feller down in Birmingham! Well, I guess I'll go see Tootsie up in Framingham And let that cotton pickin' choo choo The no-good rotten choo choo Let that no-good rotten, cotton pickin' choo choo go to Alabam'!
