Alexis thank you for the pleasant southern days
Spending on the levy throwing pennies in the bay
And talking to the rich folks on the big boats that pass that way
You were just a young girl and I just could not stay
Alexis I can't even remember how we met back then
Was on my way to Atlanta out on that road again
Not really poor had money just not to spend
You were just a young girl and I was in need of a friend
Alexis you always used to talk about
Leaving your home town and heading off south
Maybe down to New Orleans
And you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl
And I was just a hobo
That had my doubts
Alexis I did not want to leave you there
Sometimes this life we live is so unfair
I wanted to take you with me but I did not dare
You were just a young girl and I couldn't pay your fare
Alexis you always used to talk about
Leaving your home town and heading off south
Maybe down to New Orleans
And you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl
And I was just a hobo
That had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
Had my doubts
