Railroad Lady
(专辑: The Legendary Lefty Frizzell - 1973)
She's a
railroad lady, just a
little bit'shady Spending her days on a
train She's the
semi good looker but the
fast rails they took her Now she's trying, just trying to get home again South station in Boston to the
stockyards of Austin From the
Florida sunshine to the
New Orleans rain Now that the
rail packs have taken the
best tracks She's trying, just trying to get back home again She's a
railroad lady, just a
little bit'shady Spending her days on a
train Once a
pull man car driver, now a
break men won't have her She's trying, just trying to get back home again Once a
high-balling loner thought he could own her He bought her a
fur coat and a
big diamond ring But she hung in for cold cash, left down on the
Wabash Never thinking, never thinking of home way back then But the
rails are now rusty, the
dining car's dusty The
gold faded watches have taken their gold The
railroads're dying and the
lady is crying On a
bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal She's a
railroad lady, just a
little bit'shady Spending her days on a
train Once a
pull man car driver, now a
break men won't have her She's trying, just trying to get back home again On a
bus to Kentucky and home once again
