Just tell me baby, just tell me baby 
What can I do to change your mind? 
Hey hey, baby can I change your mind? 
I got the freight train blues, the tracks is out-a line 
You got a man in the east, an' a man in the west 
Just sittin' here wonderin' who you love the best 
Hey hey, what can I do to change your mind? 
I got the blues for you baby, you keep me worried all the time 
You say you love me, I believe in you 
You tryin' to quit me, what more can I do? 
Hey hey, baby can I change your mind? 
I got the blues for you baby, you keep me worried all the time 
(Now boy, you know I got the blues, now play 'em for me now!) 
Yes, yes, yes, yes 
My mama got 'em, my papa got 'em 
My sister told me that she had them, too 
Hey hey, mama what can I do? 
Some old day you will want me 
And I won't care a thing about you
