My baby's gone away

On a Greyhound bus to Californ-i-a

Oh Lord, I'd go today
But I can't save no money,

I got bills to pay

And it's only a matter of time

Before they close that Greyhound line

And if I can't see my baby soon,

What's a poor little girl like me gonna do?

 

He stopped in, heading west

Gave him half my heart and he took the rest

But I bet he'll marry me

If I'm at his door in my finest dress

But it's only a matter of time

Before they close that Greyhound line

And if I can't see my baby soon,

What's a poor little girl like me gonna do?

 

Shoebox and a coffee can full of cash

Gonna take me to see my man

I packed my bag to load

On that old grey dog down this old dirt road

But it don't come this way no more,

Since it took my baby home

And it's only a matter of time

Since they done closed that Greyhound line

Now my baby, he'll just find somebody new

What's a poor little girl like me gonna do?
