Far into the night he crooned that tune 
The stars went out and so did the moon 
The singer stopped playing and went to bed, 
While the Weary Blues echoed through his head 
He slept like a rock or a man that's dead 

(x3) 
Another man done gone 
I didn't know his name 
He had a long chain on 
He killed another man 

Another man done gone 
Gone from the country farm 
Another man done gone 

I didn't know his name 
I didn't know his name 
I didn't know his name 
Know his name, I didn't know his name 

Little girls? Yes maam

Which way did he go? 
Choo choo, all night long (x8)
