Joe Purdy - The Ballplayer lyrics

I was just a rail-riding man Well I was just a rail-riding man Long before she took me in Well she patched all my bullet holes. She patched all my bullet holes And she sewed my torn up clothes She said hard times, they last too long She said hard times, they last too long Played me the shortest sweetest songs She stands by the garden walls Yeah my baby stands by the garden walls . She's my little darlin' she's my angel doll. She said hard times, they last too long She said hard times, they last too long Played me the shortest sweetest song *instrument break* Well dollar, is coarse and cold. Yeah greenback dollar, is coarse and cold. Oh not my baby, she's as good as gold. She says hard times, they last too long She said hard times, they last too long Played me the shortest, sweetest song She said hard times, they last too long. My baby said hard times, they last too long. Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs. Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs. Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs. Beautiful
