Down at the railroad station my suitcase settin' by my side
|
Got no high hopes of leaving I'm just watching the trains go by
|
Watching the trains go by
|
|
Lawyer Jabob's wife she is expecting and he wonders why in blazes
|
How his wife could come to blame now they tried so many times before
|
Walking back down this dusty farmroad my thirsty mind is high and dry
|
One more day down at the station watching the trains go by
|
Down at the railroad station...
|
|
Papa's working at the coal mines mama's lying sick in bed
|
They'd be better off without me one less mouth to be fed
|
Younger brother John is in the jailhouse down on the woodfarm chopping wood
|
I stayed around and tried to change him don't look like I done no good
|
Down at the railroad station...
|
Down at the railroad station...
