C.C. & O Blues - Pink Anderson

If you didn’t want me, why don’t you tell me so?

If you didn’t want me, why don’t you tell me so?

If you didn’t want me, why don’t you tell me so?

(What boss?)

I won’t be hangin' 'round your door no more

Gonna ride the Seaboard either ride the blind

Gonna ride the Seaboard either ride the blind

Gonna ride the Seaboard either ride the blind

(What you gonna do?)

Gonna ride that train you call the CC line

I’m goin' up the country, and the time ain’t long

I’m goin' up the country, and the time ain’t long

I’m goin' up the country, and the time ain’t long

(What you going for?)

Going up the country to count the days I’m gone

The CC&O the best train I do ride

The CC&O the best train ought to ride

The CC&O the best train of the ride

(What about it boy?)

That’s the train to ride to pacify your mind

Mama told me, so did Father too

Said, Mama told me, so did Father too

Said, Mama told me, so did Father too

(What'd they tell you boss?)

That CC road gonna be the death of you

(whoop it boy, whoop it)

I wonder where the engineer is goin'

I wonder where the engineer is goin'

I wonder where the engineer is goin'

(Why boss?)

I feel like riding, if it’s all night long
