It was a cold black night
And the rain was fallin' down
Cold black night
And the rain was fallin' down
I went out lookin' for my girl
I knew she wasn't nowhere around
She left me early that morning
With a suitcase in her hand
She left me early that morning
Yes, with a suitcase in her hand
And she took off on a train this mornin'
And she was meetin' some other man, yes
She used to treat me real good
And I wonder why I didn't treat her right
Yes, ah, you know I wonder why
I didn't treat her right
And now all I can do
Is walk those streets both day and night
