Ah-oh, smokestack lightnin'
Shinin′, just like gold
Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
A-whoo-hooo, oooo, whooo

Whoa-oh, tell me, baby,

Why don′t ya hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo, whooo


Whoa-oh, tell me, baby,
Where did ya, stay last night?
A-why don′t ya hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo, whooo

Whoa-oh, stop your train,
Let her, go for a ride
Why don′t ya hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo, whooo

Whoa-oh, fare ya well

Whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo, whooo
