'My, my, my'(instrumental)I followed my babyTo the stationEven helped her on a trainAn tears came downJust like midnight showers of rainNow, where were you, where were youWhen that rollin' mill burnt down?Well, I was standin' in the countryJust one mile from townWell, that old mill whistle, it did blowLike it ain't gon' blow no mo'I was just standin' here wond'inWhere did my baby go?~
