I’ll Be on My Way

[Verse 1]
Oh, sir we'll be soon Mississippi bound
Another city and another town
My own true lover wants me to stay
But you know it won't be long and I'll be on my way

Through Pennsylvania, down in between
Cincinnati, Louisville to New Orleans

[Verse 2]
I'll keep your picture in the gold frame
While I make my livin' stokin' flame
Every hour spent shovelin' coal
You know I miss you, baby, with my heart and soul

I'll return to you to you someday
It won't be long and I'll be on my way

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
You know I'd stay here for a while, but that just ain't my style
To tell you that I'd stay is a game I can't play
I'll be on my way

Through Pennsylvania, down in between
Cincinnati, Louisville to New Orleans
