HOMESICK BLUES.
De railroad bridge's A sad song in de air. De railroad bridge's A sad song in de air. Ever time de trains pass I wants to go somewhere.
I went down to de station. Ma heart was in ma mouth. Weht down to de station. Heart was in ma mouth, Lookin’ for a box car To roll me to de South.
Homesick blues, Lord, ’S a terrible thing to have. Homesick blues is A terrible thing to have. To keep from cryin’ I opens ma mouth an’ laughs. —Langston Hughes, in the Measure.
