I Had a Dream Last Night
I had a dream last night
I thought my good gal had gone
Woke this morning
She, baby done me wrong
I know it’s not fair
But my good gal done caught air
My gal has been traveling around
Just about a week I know
Several of my friends
Done told me so and so
She’s found a new man
Now I can understand
Chorus: I’m going away, leaving today
Gunna bring my baby back
That eight wheel driver don’t jump the railroad track
I’ll take her from that man
I’ll bring her home if I can
(Yodeling)
Oh, it’s true my baby is gone
And I know it won’t be long
We’ll both be on that train
My baby coming home again
She’s been traveling ‘round
But now she’s slowing down
Chorus
(Yodeling) Home if I can
