Down at Backwater junction
|
|
Rolling down the line
|
|
In the dark early morning
|
|
I heard the one-forty-nine
|
|
I was walking down the highway
|
|
Needed somewhere to go
|
|
A lady laid beside me
|
|
And she invited me home
|
|
She led me cold, tired and hungry
|
|
Down the backwater road
|
|
In a house on the corner
|
|
looking over the track
|
|
I woke up with a fever
|
|
And a pain in my back
|
|
She was lying there beside me
|
|
My fever started to grow
|
|
Had a funny feeling
|
|
But the lady said no
|
|
The lover needs a doctor
|
|
Down the Backwater Road
|
|
Whatcha' lookin' for
|
|
Whatcha' lookin' for
|
|
Lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for
|
|
Was I wrong to play along
|
|
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong
|
|
Backwater doctor
|
|
You've got me breathing in time
|
|
It's ten-thirty in the morning
|
|
And I'm feeling alright
|
|
I went back to my lady
|
|
But I wasn't to know
|
|
Lady left this morning
|
|
And she's not coming home
|
|
I was cold when she left me
|
|
Down the Backwater Road
