Lyrics

(Chester burnett)
Five live yardbirds version
Yeah, smokestack lightning
Don't you hear me callin'?
Don't you hear me callin' your name?
Don't you hear me callin' you?
Don't you hear me callin' you?

Tell me where did you go last night?
Gotta know who you been with

Tell me where did you go last night?
Tell me where did you go?
Tell me where did you go?

Fare you well, goodbye, pretty baby
Never see you no more, no more
Fare you well, goodbye, pretty baby, goodbye
Fare you well, goodbye

Yeah, smokestack lightning
Shining like gold
Don't you hear me call out you?
Don't you hear me callin' you now?
Don't you hear me callin' you now?

Ah, stop your train, yeah
Let me go for a ride with you
Let me go for a ride, oh stop your train now
Oh, stop your train now

Fare you well, goodbye, pretty baby
Tell me where did you go?
Why did you leave me, oh?
Oh, fare you well, goodbye, goodbye

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alternate early live version
Yeah, smokestack lightning
Don't you hear me callin'?
Don't you hear me callin'?

Tell me where did you go last night?
I gotta know who you been with
Tell me where did you go last night?

Yeah, stop your train
Let me go for a ride, pretty baby, you know
Stop your train, I gotta ride with you
Gotta ride with you
Gotta ride with you

Fare you well, goodbye, pretty baby
Fare you well, goodbye, goodbye
Never see you no more, pretty baby, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Yeah, smokestack lightning
Shining like gold
Don't you hear me callin'?
Gotta stop your train, let me go for a ride
Let me ride with you
Stop your train and ride with you
