The rolling mill, baby, done broke down
They're shipping no iron to town

The longest train, I ever seen
Run round, Joe Brown's coal mine

The engine was at the Four Mile Hill
And the cab had never left town

Corinne, Corinne, my lovin' Corinne
Honey, let your bangs grow long

The train, run off, the track, last night
And it killed, my little, Corinne

Her head, was found, in a driving wheel
And her body, have never, been seen

I didn't, bring nothing, to this, old world
And I won't, carry nothing, away

But late, last night, when my honey come home
I heard a rapping on, her door

She got up in her stocking feet
Went tipping across the floor

Tell me, pretty mama, what evil, have I done
To make you treat me so?

I've killed no man and I've robbed no train
And I've done no hangin' crime

The last'est words I heard my baby say
'What more, babe, can I do?'

I done more, for you, than I'll ever do again
Goodbye, my little pretty thing
