[Verse 1]
Ah-oh, smokestack lightnin'
Shinin' just like gold
Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
A-whoo-hooo, oooo
Whooo

[Verse 2]
Whoa-oh, tell me baby
What's the matter with you?
Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo
Whooo

[Verse 3]
Whoa-oh, tell me baby
Where did ya stay last night?
A-why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo
Whooo

[Verse 4]
Whoa-oh, stop your train
Let a poor boy ride
Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo
Whooo
[Verse 5]
Whoa-oh, fare ya well
Never see a you no more
A-why don't ya hear me cryin'?
Oooo, whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo
Whooo

[Verse 6]
Whoa-oh, who been here baby since
I-I been gone, a little, bitty boy?
Girl, be on
A-whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo
