Hank Snow - Trying to Get My Ba lyrics

(Hank Snow)

I rode a freight train to El Paso Texas

Happiness I was tryin' so hard to find

Walked across the Rio Grande to another country

Trying to get my baby off my mind.

Trying to get my baby off my mind.

They tell me that she's out in California

Sometimes I think she's still walking by my side

I know another's world now she lives in

I'm trying to get my baby off my mind.

I'm trying to get my baby off my mind.

I hear that she has gone and wed another

I know now a new love's hard to find

I walk the streets all night in El Paso

Trying to get my baby off my mind.

Lord, I'm trying to get my baby off my mind.

--- Instrumental Steel - piano ---

I can hear that mornful whistle of the freight train

Moanin' out his lonesome highball sigh

So now I'm on my way out to California

Trying to get my baby off my mind.

I'm trying to get my baby off my mind.

Trying to get my baby off my mind

I'm trying to get my baby off my mind.

Trying to get my baby off my mind.

I'm trying to get my baby off my mind...
