 Now, I know the people
 Is 'onna wonder, ev'rywhere
 I say, I know the people
 Is 'onna wonder, ev'rywhere
 Because they heard of poor John
 Was saw around 'lectric car
 Now, catch the Central car for
 Ride it down to Central Street
 I say, I catch the Central car for
 Ride it down to Central Street
 Lord, I'm 'onna ease it down in Rovers
 Catch my baby out on a midnight train
 Lord, reason why baby, I
 I been so long writin' to you
 I said the reason why, baby
 I been so long writin' to you
 Because I been studyin' so hard
 Lord, how to all sing these blues
 'Sing 'em boy, for Mr. James!'
 Lord, I lost my papa and my dear mama, too
 I say, I love my papa and my dear mama, too
 Lord, I'm gonna quit my bad way of livin'
 And visit the Sunday school.
