I am just a poor girl Trying to get back home Waiting by the station Barefoot on the stones Seven years from ponchatoula Not one penny in my hand Please mister help me I come so far I cannot stand
He said we don't take no riders No riders on this train Go on ask the brakeman He'll tell you just the same I don't take no riders Don't take no riders on this train Best move on down the line, mama Go on back from where you came
I done left my mama When I was but a child Took off with a young man Started running wild Seven years from ponchatoula Ain't nothin' gone my way Please mister help me Can't you hear a word I say?
He said we don't take no riders No riders on this train Go on ask the brakeman He'll tell you just the same I don't take no riders Don't take no riders on this train Best move on down the line, mama Go on back from where you came
