4. Alexis 

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'll 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 - 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?
