Robert Plant - Poor Tom lyrics

[Intro] Here is a tale of Tom Who worked the railroads long His wife would cook his meal As he would change the wheel [Chorus] Poor Tom, seventh son Always knew what was going on Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom [Verse 1] Worked for thirty years Sharing hopes and fears Dreaming of the day He could turn and say [Chorus] Poor Tom, work is done Been lazing out in the noonday sun Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom [Verse 2] His wife was Annie Mae With any man a game she would play When Tom was out of town She could not keep her dress down [Chorus] Poor Tom, seventh son Always knew what is going on Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom [Verse 3] And so it was one day People got to Annie Mae (?) Tom stood, a gun in his hand And stopped her running around [Chorus] Poor Tom, seventh son Got to die for what you have done All those years of work are thrown away To ease your mind is that all you can say? [Outro] But what about that grandson on your knee? Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Hey, keep-a trucking
