Mark Knopfler - Marbletown lyrics

MARBLETOWN

(Mark Knopfler)

Roll out here mister

if you need a lttle rest

lay me down in marbletown

a bone yard is the best

there was a bad bull on the railroad

tried to put me off his train

lay me down in marbletown

'til the coast is clear again

i can hear them a- hollerin'

'we got a man down here

we got a man down'

i'm gonna flip me a cannonball

that won't stop for anyone

lay me down in marbletown

wait ?til morning comes

i'm gonna roll out here in the tombstones

wait here on my train

lay me down in marbletown

i hope that it don't rain

and i can still hear them hollerin

''we got a man down here

we got a man down'

roll out here mister

if you need a little rest

lay me down in marbletown

a bone yard is the best
