Version 1 (20772-2) July 1928 I'm sittin here moanin', I have the letter here in my hand Mmmmm-mmmm-mmm, I've got a letter here in my hand My faro wrote to tell me, my baby's got a brand new man I'm miles away from home, I ain't got no railroad fare I'm miles away from home, I ain't got no railroad fare I'm gonna beat that B&O into Baltimore, for I heard my baby was there I was drinkin' all night, got up this mornin' sloppy drunk Drinkin' all night long, got up this mornin' sloppy drunk I would pack my things, but somebody done stole my trunk I met a brown last night, I tried to get her to ease my pain I met a brown last night, I tried to get her to ease my pain Said, "You ain't got no money, so don't come back here again" It's sad news when your baby's tramplin' on you I say, it's sad news when your baby's tramplin' on you When you know you've been doin' the very best you could do Version2 (21133-1) January 1929 I'm sittin' here moanin', got a letter here in my hand Mmm, letter here in my hand My faro wrote to tell me, my baby's got a brand new man I'm miles away from home, I ain't got no railroad fare I'm miles away from home, I ain't got no railroad fare I'm gonna beat that B&O into Baltimore, because I know my baby is there I was drinkin' all night long, got up this mornin' sloppy drunk Drinkin' all night long, got up this mornin' sloppy drunk I would pack my clothes, somebody's done stole my trunk I met a brown last night, I tried to get her to ease my pain I met a brown last night, I tried to get her to ease my pain "You ain't got no money, don't come back here again" It's sad news when your baby's tramplin' on you I say, it's sad news when your baby's tramplin' on you When you know you have done the very best you can do
