Johnny Duncan - Louisville Nashville Southbound Train lyrics

Please answer my question and don't try to deny it Blow your whistle once for yes twice for no then I'll be quiet Was it you who tempted me into leavin' home Did you cheat me from the ones I loved things I called my own Was it you who made me forget my name You old devil on my shoulder: Louisville Nashville southbound train Why did you call my name out on dark deserted nights And wake me from my sleep in a cold sweat next to fright While you knew I'd throw my covers back slip out the front door Walk down through the track side where you'd greet me with your roar Was it all my fault or were you to blame You old devil on my shoulder: Louisville Nashville southbound train I guess my wife stopped long ago wondering where I am And the boy that bounced upon my knee by this time is a man Well the only thing that I can do is wonder where they are Cause I'm a lifetime prisoner to your wooden sail boxcar As I gave my life for you I got to say You old devil on my shoulder: Louisville Nashville southbound train Louisville Nashville southbound train
