Prettiest Train

Prettiest train I ever seen

I declare now, she run down to Jackson back to New Orleans

New Orleans, New Orleans

I declare now, she run down to Jackson back to New Orleans

Mattie, when you marry, marry a railroad man

I declare now, every days a Sunday, dollar in your hand

In your hand, in your hand

I declare now, every days a Sunday, dollar in your hand

Mattie, when you marry, don't marry a convict man

I declare now, every days a Monday, hoe handle in your hand

In your hand, in your hand

I declare now, every days a Monday, hoe handle in your hand

Prettiest woman that I ever seen

I declare now, Rampart Street, New Orleans

New Orleans, New Orleans

I declare now, Rampart Street, New Orleans

You go to Jackson to show your clothes

I declare now, I go to Jackson, play them dicing holes

Dicing holes, dicing holes

I declare now, I go to Jackson, play them dicing holes

If you go to Memphis, don't you hang around

I declare now, police gonna catch and you're, workhouse bound

Workhouse bound, workhouse bound

I declare now, police gonna catch and you're, workhouse bound
