Alexis

Thank you for a pleasant southern day

Spent on the levy throwing

Pennies in the bay

And talking about the rich folks

On the big boats that pass that way

You were just a young girl

I just could not stay

Alexis i can't living

How we met back then

Was on my way to atlanta

Now i'm on that road again

Not really poor

Had money just not to spend

You were just a young girl

And i was in need of a friend

Alexis

You always used to talk about

Leaving your hometown

Heading on south

Maybe down to new orleans

And you wanted me to help you out

But you were just a young girl

And i was just a hobo

That had my doubts

Alexis i did not want to leave you there

Sometimes this life we lead is so unfair

I wanted to take you with me

But i did not dare

You were just a young girl

And i could not pay your fare

Alexis you always used to talk about

Leaving your hometown

Heading on south

Maybe down to new orleans

And you wanted me to help you out

But you were just a young girl

And i was just a hobo

That had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts

Had my doubts
