Good morning, mr. railroad man

What time do your trains roll by ?

"at 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'till 5"

"at 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'till 5"

Thank you, mr. railroad man

I want to watch your trains go by



Standing on a platform, smoking a cheap cigar

And waiting for an old freight train that carries an empty car

Well, i pulled my hat down over my eyes

And i walked across the tracks

And i caught me the end of an old freight train

And i never did come back



Well, i sat down in a gamblin' game

But i could not play my hand

I was thinkin' about the woman i loved

Run away with another man, poor boy

Run away with another man

I was thinking about the woman that i loved

Run away with another man
