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
