Well I'm going away my baby I'm gonna leave you honey now Well that train passed by when you lay sleeping I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall The only two things a gambler needs Are a suitcase and a trunk And the only time that he's satisfied Is when he's on the drunk I once loved a boy in Cincinnati I loved a boy in sunny Tennessee Well a city boy will fill your heart with sadness But a country boy's as good as he can be
