Well, I come from a Texas town, didn’t I baby?
Well, I come from a Texas town, didn’t I baby?
That old dust it blowed and blowed, and I hit the lonesome road,
Landed up in a Portan’ town, didn’t I baby?
I gotta gal in Klamath Falls, ain’t I, Baby?
I gotta gal in Klamath falls, ain’t I, Baby?
Well, she’s long, yes, she’s tall,
Like the timber when she falls,
I gotta gal in Klamath Falls, ain’t I, Baby?
Klamath Falls is a railroad town, ain’t it, Baby?
Klamath Falls is a railroad town, ain’t it, Baby?
Kalamath Falls is a railroad town,
You can ride the rattler down;
Klamath Falls is a railroad town, ain’t it, baby?
Get your ticket and you come down, cain’t you, Baby?
Get your ticket and you come down, cain’t you, Baby?
Well it shore gits mighty lonesome
When that evenin’ sun goes down,
Get your ticket and you come down, cain’t you, Baby?
You’re a livin’ in Portlan’ town, ain’t you, Baby?
Your’e a livin’ in Portlan’ town, ain’t you, Baby?
Klamath Falls is a railroad town,
But I don’t want no switchin’ around;
Get your ticket and come on down, cain’t you, Baby?
Portlan’ town is a timber town, ain’t it, Baby?
Portlan’ town is a timber town, ain’t it, Baby?
When we raft that timber down,
And my paydal rolls around;
I’m a goin’ down to Klamath Falls to see my Baby.
I’m a gonna ride that railroad down to see my Baby,
I’m a gonna ride that railroad down to see my Baby;
Boy, she’s long and she’s tall,
She’s th’ best in Klamath Falls;
So I’m a gonna ride that railroad down to see my Baby.
