| well i got my mail late last night | |
| A letter from a girl who found the time | |
| To write | |
| To her lonesome boy somewheres in the | |
| Night | |
| She sent me a railroad ticket too | |
| To take me to her lovin' arms | |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me | |
| Home to the one i love | |
| Well i bin out here many long days | |
| I haven't found a place that i could call | |
| My own | |
| Not a two bit bed to lay my body on | |
| I bin stood up i bin shook down | |
| I bin dragged into the sand | |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me | |
| Home to the one i love | |
| Ooooh oooo oo whu hu hoo | |
| Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo | |
| Well i bin up tight most every night | |
| Walkin' along the streets of this old town | |
| Not a friend around to tell my troubles to | |
| My good old car she done broke down | |
| 'cause i drove it into the ground | |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me | |
| Home to the one i love | |
| Well i look over yonder across the plain | |
| The big drive wheels are poundin' along | |
| The ground | |
| Gonna get on board and i'll be homeward | |
| Bound | |
| Now i ain't had a home cooked meal | |
| And lord i need one now | |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me | |
| Home to the one i love | |
| Now here i am with my hat in hand | |
| Standin' on the broad highway will you | |
| Give a ride | |
| To a lonesome boy who missed the train | |
| Last night | |
| I went in town for one last round | |
| And i gambled my ticket away | |
| And the big steel rail won't carry me | |
| Home to the one i love |
| well i got my mail late last night | |
| A letter from a girl who found the time | |
| To write | |
| To her lonesome boy somewheres in the | |
| Night | |
| She sent me a railroad ticket too | |
| To take me to her lovin' arms | |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me | |
| Home to the one i love | |
