Ry Cooder - GOOD MORNING MR. RAILROAD MAN lyrics

(Traditional)

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
