LYRIC
Farewell My Honey, Cindy Jane
Goodbye my darin,’ Cindy Jane
Farewell and goodbye
I’m on the mornin’ train
Your mean mistreatin’ drove me near insane
Honey, won’t you easy my troubled mind
Honey, won’t you easy my troubled mind
Have you got a reason
For treatin’ me unkind
Oh, honey, won’t you easy my troubled mind
Tell me why you do the way you do
Tell me why you do the things you do
I know you’ve been untrue
So now, gal, I’m leavin’ you
Well you two-timed once too often, now we’re through
Who’ll be your baby when I’m gone
Who’ll be your daddy from now on
Chilly winds are tellin’ me
It’s time to travel on
Oh who will be your baby when I’m gone
Train I ride is fifty coaches long
Takes me from the place that I belong
Lonesome whistle moanin’
Some broken hearted song
Baby, why’d you ever do your daddy wrong
I’d be more than satisfied
If I could take that train and take a ride
And when I cross the mountains
And I’m on the other side
Well I’d hang down my head and lonesome cry
Farewell my honey, Cindy Jane
Goodbye my darin,’ Cindy Jane
Farewell and goodbye
I’m on the mornin’ train
Your mean mistreatin’ drove me near insane
Farewell my honey, farewell my honey, Cindy Jane
Goodbye my darin,’ goodbye my darlin’, Cindy Jane
Farewell and goodbye
I’m on the mornin’ train
Well your mean mistreatin’ drove me near insane
Well you treated me mean
And I went insane
Farewell my honey, darlin’, Cindy Jane
