I came into Atlanta
|
Dreamin' of Lorraine
|
Came so tired of ridin'
|
Cross the Savanna Plain
|
Still feel the wheels a-rollin'
|
Feel them just the same
|
Steel wheels still a-rollin'
|
On a long night train.
|
|
|
She met me at the station
|
Took me to her room
|
Was a time of meeting
|
Was a risin' moon.
|
Angels set the table
|
With candles and beer.
|
Heard that midnight train moan
|
Miles away from here.
|
|
Instrumental Chorus
|
|
Lay me down a pallet,
|
Lay it soft and low.
|
Lorraine lay beside me,
|
Sad I had to go.
|
|
Gypsy boy I traveled with
|
Played his old guitar.
|
We watched that candle flicker
|
Like some low morning star
|
|
But the time to part must always come
|
Time the bells must ring.
|
Time for lovers to say goodnight
|
I'll see you in my dreams.
|
|
Time to part must always come
|
Time when trade-winds sing.
|
Time to hit the road again
|
Time for travelin'.

Time For Travelin'
