railroad man

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah,
One of these mornings, it wont be long
Captains gonna call and
Ill be gone
Ill be nine hundred miles away from home
You can count the days
Im gone You can tell the train
Im on You can hear the whistle blow as she rolls by
She rolls by, she rolls by
Hear the whistle blow as she rolls by
My olden shoes are worn
My olden clothes are torn
And I hate to go home now this-a-way
This-a-way, this-a-way
Hate to go home this-a-way
Well, if my
Mama she says so,
Ill railroad no more
Ill side-track my train and go home
And go home, and go home
Side-track my train and go home
If I die a
Railroad Man
I wanna be buried in the sand
So I can hear old
No. 9 as she rolls by
She rolls by, she rolls by
Hear old No. 9 as she rolls by
