|
Thrown off the bridge |
|
To the river by the ridge |
|
Was the iron mountain baby |
|
A man walking by |
|
Said he heard a little cry |
|
And he found him in a suitcase |
|
Fifty feet down from the train to the ground |
|
It's a miracle that he survived |
|
What are the chances that a man would be standin' there |
|
And take him home to his wife |
|
Sarah Jane |
|
Sarah Jane |
|
Be a mama to the boy from the train |
|
Five days old with a hand that could hold in a grip around your finger |
|
Old Sarah Jane no she never did complain 'cause she loved the little |
|
Stranger |
|
She brought him back to health |
|
And she kept him for herself |
|
When some women tried to claim him |
|
\"If you'd been a good mama then you never would've wanna |
|
Gone and thrown him off of the train then |
|
Sarah Jane |
|
Sarah Jane |
|
Be a mama to the boy from the train |
|
Woo oo baby! |
|
Woo oo you're my baby now! |
|
A picture in the paper |
|
Showed the baby like an angel |
|
With the savior and the suitcase |
|
What kind of devil |
|
Could have thrown the little fellow |
|
Off the train in the first place |
|
His mama musta died givin' birth to the child and the daddy went crazy |
|
Got on the train with a heart full of pain and took it out on the baby |
|
Sarah Jane |
|
Sarah Jane |
|
Be a mama to the boy from the train |
|
Woo oo baby! |
|
Woo oo you're my baby now! |
|
A civil war vet went to see if he could get a bit of timber for a new barn |
|
The number 4 sped from the train overhead came the itty bitty newborn |
|
Woo oo baby! |
|
Woo oo you're my baby now! |
