Little Girl in Rome Songtext
von Otto Virgial

I got a letter this mornin′, from that girl in Rome
Says she got somethin' for me, she gon′ bring it back home
Got a letter this mornin', from that girl in Rome

I went down to the depot, I act like some child
I said, "Ticket Agent, what train must I ride?"
Got the worried blues and I can't be satisfied

Well, I′m going way ′way to, worry you off my mind
'Cause you keep me worried and bothered all the time
I′m goin' way ′way to worry you off my mind

I got something to tell you, just before I go
It ain't nothin′, baby, turn your lamp down low
I've got something to tell you, just before I go


I went down to the railroad, I looked down the track
Thought about my little good girl, come a-easin' on back
I went down to the railroad, I looked down the track

Yond′ come my baby, comin′ down the line
With her headlight just shinin' like, coaches all behind
Yond′ come my baby, comin' down the line

Well, I had one good girl, and she strayed, went away
I didn′t think my baby treat me this a-way
I didn't think my baby treat me this a-way

Now, if I could holler like some mountain jack
I would go on the mountain and call my baby back
Now, if I could holler like a mountain jack

Mama, she caught the Southern, my Daddy rode the blinds
He said, "Baby, you can′t quit me, ain't no need of you tryin'"
Said, "Baby, can′t quit me, ain′t no need of"
