Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain
I'll jump off, nobody gonna know

[Chorus]
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna find me
A hole in the wall
I'm gonna crawl inside and die
'Cause my lady, now
A mean ol' woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye

[Chorus]
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna buy a ticket now
As far as I can
Ain't a-never comin' back
Ride me a southbound
All the way to Georgia now
'Til the train, it run out of track

[Chorus]
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me (Oh Lord)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me

[Chorus]
Can't you see (Oh, she's such a crazy lady), can't you see
What that woman (Oh, that woman), she been doin' to me
Can't you see (Lord, I can't stand), can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me
[Chorus]
Can't you see (I'm gonna take a freight train), can't you see
(Down at the station, Lord)
What that woman (Ain't never coming back), been doing to me
Can't you see (Gonna ride me a southbound, now), can't you see
(All the way to Georgia, Lord)
What that woman (Till the train, it run out of track), she been doing to me
