Big Bill Broonzy - Don't You Want to Ride

Now I was settin' down
Wasn't doing nothing wrong
Man walked up to me said
Boy how long have you been from home

Now don't you want a ride
Now don't you want a ride
Boy there's a free train runnin'
Now don't you want a ride

Now I was in a place
I was playin' the blues
Lady walked in
And she bought a bottle of booze

She said now don't you want a ride
Now don't you want a ride
Now there's a free train runnin'
Boy don't you want a ride

Now she passed that liquor 'round
And she begin to hum
She said play it Mr. Bill
Untill the sergeant come

Now don't you want a ride
Hmm don't you want a ride
Lord there's a little train runnin'
Boy don't you want a ride
Play Mr. Judge

Now at half-past four
Somebody knocked on the door
Said stand still everybody
Here come Mr. so-and-so

Now don't you know you got to ride
Yes you got to ride
Now there's a free train runnin'
Little girl you've got to ride

Lord I hear the bell a-ringin'
I didn't know what to do
I said stand still everybody
That goes for the women too

Now you know you got to ride
Yes you've got to ride
Now there's a free train runnin'
Boy you've got to ride
