Fort Worth an' Denver come through these parts today
Mmm, come through these parts today

Fort Worth an' Denver took my good man away
Fort Worth an' Denver come back an' get poor me

Mmm, come back an' get poor me
I want you to take me to my old time used-to-be

I've got the Fort Worth an' Denver Blues, don't know which place to go
Mmm, don't know which place to go

Well, he caught the Katy, I caught that Santa Fe
Mmmm, I caught the Santa Fe
All you women can say: "Your good man left town with me
Spoken: Lord, these women so evil
