Lil Johnson
recording of June 10 1937
from,
If you don't shake you don't get no cake
If you don't hum I'm gonna give you none
You can't ride, honey, you can't ride this train
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna run it like
Stavin' Chain
I asked you in the morning to treat me right
You put me off, tell me "Wait 'til night"
Now, you can't ride, honey, you can't ride this train
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna run it like Stavin' Chain
Back your horse out my stable, back him out fast
I got myself another jockey, get yourself another mare
Now, you can't ride, honey, you can't ride this train
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna run it like Stavin' Chain
Stavin' Chain was a man of might
He save up his money just to ride all night
Now, you can't ride, honey, you can't ride this train
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna run it like Stavin' Chain
Was at your house last night, 'bout half past four
found another woman comin' out your door
Now, you can't ride, honey, you can't ride this train
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna run it like Stavin' Chain
