Lyrics for Lovin' Babe

I'm going away, babe, and it won't be long I'm going away and it won't be long I'm going away and it won't be long Just as sure as that train leaves out of that Mobile yard Just as sure as that train leaves out of that Mobile yard Just as sure as that train leaves out of that Mobile yard Come shake your hand, tell your papa goodbye Come shake your hand, tell your papa goodbye Come shake your hand, tell your papa goodbye I'm going back to Tennessee I'm going back to Memphis, Tennessee I'm going back to Memphis, Tennessee I'm going where I never get bull-dozed I'm going where I never get the bull-doze I'm going where I never get bull-dozed If you don't believe I'm sinking Look what a hole I'm in If you don't believe I'm sinking Look what a hole I'm in If you don't believe I'm sinking Look what a fool I've been Oh, my babe, take me back How in the world... Lord, take me back
