LYRICS
作曲 : Bowe, Curfman
I am just a poor girl
Trying to get back home
Waiting by the station
Barefoot on the stones
Seven years from
Ponchatoula
Not one penny in my hand
Please mister help me
I come so far
I cannot stand
He said We don't take no riders
No riders on this train
Go on ask the brakeman
He'll tell you just the same
I don't take no riders
Don't take no riders on this train
Best move on down the line, mama
Go on back from where you came
I done left my mama
When I was but a child
Took off with a young man
Started running wild
Seven years from
Ponchatoula
Ain't nothin' gone my way
Please mister help me
Can't you hear a word
I say? He said
We don't take no riders
No riders on this train
Go on ask the brakeman
He'll tell you just the same
I don't take no riders
Don't take no riders on this train
Best move on down the line, mama
Go on back from where you came
