When I was a little boy back in |
|
West Virginia |
|
We lived very close to a railroad track |
|
And I remember |
|
I used to dream about them trains |
|
And where they might go |
|
And the people that worked on the trains |
|
And the train made music, it made you feel good |
|
I can remember sometimes |
|
I could just stand off all by myself |
|
And just get funky listenin' to the train |
|
And I used to pick up a handful of gravels |
|
And throw 'em down on the ground for ties |
|
Yeah, and |
|
I'd make up songs, |
|
I'd singHe was a railroad man |
|

|

|

|
He rode across the plains |
|
He rode on a fruit freight train |
|
The hauled bananas to |
|
SavannahAnd wore bandannas made in old |
|
