Paragraph Lyric
I started out from Memphis with two dollars and a dime,
I started out from Memphis, boys, with two dollars and a dime,
But I landed in old Hazard, boys, I did not have a shine --
Lord, I've been all around this world.
I went to work on the railroad, boys, the mud up to my knees,
I went to work on the railroad, boys, the mud up to my knees.
The boss come round to boss me, boys, I done just as I pleased --
God knows, I been all round this world.
I went up to the Midway Inn with money to shoot some dice,
I went up to the Midway Inn with money to shoot some dice.
They took from me my money, boys, I begged them for my life --
God knows, I've been all around this world.
The new railroad is finished, boys, the cars are on the track,
The new railroad is finished, boys, the cars are on the track.
My doney girl has left me, boys, I know that she won't come back --
God knows, I've been all around this world.
I went to the Blue Ridge Mountains and there'll I'll take my stand,
I went to the Blue Ridge Mountains, boys, and there I'll take my stand,
With a rifle on my shoulder, boys, and a six-shooter in my hands --
G
Hang me, oh, hang me and I’ll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh, hang me and I’ll be dead and gone
I wouldn’t mind the hanging Lord it’s laying in jail so long boys
I’ve been all around this world
Working on the new railroad, mud up to my knees
Operational on the new railroad, mud up to my knees
Functional for John Henry, and he’s mighty hard to please
Been all around this world
Went up on the mountain, there I took my stand
Went up on the mountain, there I took my stand
Rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand
Been all around this world
Lulu, oh Lulu, reach and open that door
Lulu, oh Lulu, come and unlock that door
Before I own to open it with my old forty-four
Been all around this world
Mama and papa and baby sister makes three
Mama and papa and baby sister makes three
Take me down to the gallows boys that’s the last they’ll see of me
Been all around this world
Now if you meet a rich girl, boys, send her down the line
Now if you meet a rich miss, boys, send her down the line
If you meet a poor girl, bet she’s a friend of mine
Been all around this world
