Verse Riff (x4)
Well my soul's in Louisiana but my body lies in Tennessee
I didn't kill, kill no breakman I didn't kill no engineer
Well the white man pointed his finger and said what he always says
They didn't bother, bother to hang me, they just shot me on the spot

Verse sequence (x3)
Well my soul's in Louisiana but my body lies in Tennessee
