Changed The Lock On My Door
My baby done changed
Yes, she done changed the lock on the
door
Oh, my baby done changed
She done changed the lock on the door
Well, she says, 'Sonny Terry, that key you got me
Won't fit that lock no
more'
I come home last night by half past ten
I tried to get the
key in the lock and I couldn't get it in
'Cause she done changed
Oh, she
done changed the lock on the door
She says, 'Sonny Terry, I done told you the
key you got me
Won't fit that lock no more'
You know I got mad and I walked down the halfway no looking
I said, she done changed the lock on the door, I don't like that
I walked
around and went on peeping on
I walked round to her window to see what I could see
She
was kissing another man and I know it wasn't me
'Cause she done changed
Oh, she done changed the lock on the door
Well, she says, 'Sonny Terry, that
key you got me
Won't fit that lock no more'
You know I got mad, I went, I walked
I went to a telephone
booth and I called up, you know here's what I said
I called my baby up, Honey
what do you want me to bring?
She whistled low and easy, Don't bring a
doggone thing
'Cause I done changed
I done changed the lock on the door
Well, she says, 'Sonny Terry, your key you got me
Won't fit that lock no
more.

Freight Train
Hey, to hear that old train blow
Makes me feel like I want
to ride some too
Just don't tell 'em what train I'm on
And they won't know
what route I've gone
I asked the brakeman to let me ride the blinds
He says, 'I
don't care Brownie this train ain't mine'
Just don't tell 'em what train I'm
on
And they won't know what route I'm gone
Freight train, freight train going so fast
Freight train,
freight train going so fast
Just don't tell 'em what train I'm on
They
won't know what route I've gone
Was a mean old farmer and a cruel old engineer
Low down
conductor wave that train from here
Just don't tell 'em what train we're on
They won't know what route I'm gone
There's a long gold rail and a short crossed town
Ride the
roach till the day I die
Just don't tell 'em what train I'm on
And they
won't know what route I've gone
When I die don't bury me deep
Just at the foot of old
Chestnut Street
So I can hear that old number nine
As it rolls on down the
line
Freight train, freight train blows ooh, ooh, hoo
Makes me
feel like I want to ride some too
Just don't tell 'em what train I'm on
And they won't know what route I'm gone
Just don't tell 'em what train I'm on
And they won't know
what route I'm gone
Just don't tell 'em what train we're on
And they won't
know what route we gone
Just don't tell 'em what train we're on
And they won't know
what route we gone.
House Lady
Early every morning the house lady comes to me
She's the
best house lady, so kind to me
Early every morning, well, the house lady
comes to me
Well, she's the best house lady 'cause she is so kind to me
Well, soon in the morning she knocks up on my door
I wanna
clean your room, she said, like I cleaned it the morning before
Early every
morning, the house lady knocks up on my door
Saying, I wanna clean your room,
well, like I cleaned it the morning before
Lord, she wakes me up in the morning for my coffee and tea
And when she don't wake me up, it sure don't please me
She wakes me up early
every morning just to give me my coffee and tea
I said when she don't wake me
up, Lord, it sure don't please me, yes, yes
I ask all of the rumors where can that nice landlady be
If
you happen to see her, tell her I can't use my key
If you happen to see the
house lady, won't you please tell her this for me
Tell her I want her to
hurry home, 'cause I can't use my key
House lady, house lady, how can you be so mean?
You know my
room is all dirty when you used to keep it so clean
House lady, house lady,
how can you be so mean?
You know my room is all dirty, Lord, when you used to
keep it clean
This is the way she used to clean it up now
Watch me do it
right.
