Now, hand me down, hand me down
My old suitcase
An all my old dirty clothes
Now look down, look down
That long lonesome road
Where you and I, I must go

Now, which-a-way, which-a-way
That rail, railroad run?
Well, it runs from my window
To the risin' sun

Now the best, best of friendsJazz Gillum - My Old Suitcase - http://motolyrics.com/jazz-gillum/my-old-suitcase-lyrics.html
Got to part, part sometimes
So why not you, you and I?

'Pick it!' 'My, my, my'

(instrumental)

I followed my baby
To the station
Even helped her on a train
An tears came down
Just like midnight showers of rain

Now, where were you, where were you
When that rollin' mill burnt down?
Well, I was standin' in the country
Just one mile from town

Well, that old mill whistle, it did blow
Like it ain't gon' blow no mo'
I was just standin' here wond'in
Where did my baby go?
