• Smokestack Lightning

    Ah, oh, smokestack lightning
    Shinin', just like gold
    Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
    Ah, whoo hoo, ooh...
    Whoo...

    Whoa, oh, tell me, baby
    What's the, matter with you?
    Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
    Whoo hoo, whoo hoo
    Whoo...

    Whoa, oh, tell me, baby
    Where did ya, stay last night?
    A-why don't ya hear me cryin'?
    Whoo hoo, whoo hoo
    Whoo...

    Whoa, oh, stop your train
    Let her, go for a ride
    Why don't ya hear me cryin'?
    Whoo hoo, whoo hoo
    Whoo...

    Whoa, oh, fare ya well
    Never see, ah, you no more
    Ah, why don't ya hear me cryin'?
    Ooh, whoo hoo, whoo hoo
    Whoo...

    Whoa, oh, who been here baby since
    I, I been gone, a little, bitty boy?
    Girl, be on
    Ah, whoo hoo, whoo hoo
