Alexis thank you for the pleasant southern days
Spent on the levee throwing pennies in the bay
Talking of 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 remember how we met back then
Was on my way to Atlanta and on that road again
Not really poor I 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 hometown heading 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
I 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 hometown heading 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
I had my doubts

Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading 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
I had my doubts
