Once a high ballib' loner who thought he could own her,
And he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring,
But she hawked them for cold cash,headed out on the wabash
Never thinkin never thinkin of home way back then

Now the rails are all rusty and the dining cars dusty,
The gold plated watches have taken their toll.
And the railroads are dyin and the ladys she's cryin,
On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal.
