Stanley Brothers - Bound To Ride lyrics

Coming down from Tennessee riding on the line

Thinking about the girl of mine couldn't keep from crying

Honey babe I'm bound to ride

Don't you want to go

Riding on a streetcar looking o'er the town

Eating saltine crackers ten cents a pound

Working on a railroad saving all I can

Looking for that woman ain't got no man

If I die a railroad man bury me under the ties

So I can see old number nine as she goes rolling by

See that train a coming round the bend

Goodbye my little darling I'm on my way again
