  Alexis thank you for    A pleasant Southern day   Spent on the levy    Throwin' pennies in the bay   And talkin' of the rich folks    On the big boats that pass that way    You were just a young girl,    I just could not stay    Alexis I can't remember    How we met back then   Was on my way to Atlanta,   Now I'm 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    Leavin' your home town, headin' on 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 lead is so unfair    I wanted to take you with me    But I did not dare    You were just a young girl,   And I could not pay your fare    Alexis you always used to talk about    Leavin' your home town, headin' on 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
