Danville Girl

歌詞

"Good morning, Mister Railroad Man, What time do your trains roll by?" "At 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes till 5, It's 9:16 and 2:44, 25 minutes till 5." "Well, thank you, Mister Railroad Man, I want to watch your trains roll by." I was standing on a platform, Smoking a cheap cigar, Just a-waitin' for an old freight train That carries an empty car. Well, I pulled my cap down over my eyes, I walked across the track, And I caught me the end of a long gray train, And I never did come back. I rode her down to Danville town, Got stuck on a Danville girl; You bet your life she was a pearl, She wore the Danville curl. She wore her hat on the side of her head Like high-toned people all do. And the very next train come down that line, I bid that gal adieu. I set down in a gamblin' game, I could not play my hand; I was thinkin' about that pretty little woman Run away with another man, Run away with another man, boys, Run away with another man. I was thinkin' about that woman that I loved Run away with another man. "Good morning, Mister Railroad Man, What time do your trains roll by?" "At 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes till 5, It's 9:16 and 2:44, 25 minutes till 5." "Well, thank you, Mister Railroad Man, I want to watch your trains roll by."
