lyrics
Oh I went right back to my hometown,
And saw my baby there.
Dressed up in yella with some other fella.
A week I'm gone and now my stuff is on the street.
I'm gonna put myself on a train,
Gonna leave all these woes behind.
Gonna start a new life, find a good-lookin wife,
And never go back there again, no I won't do it,
I'll never go back there again.
