beggar boy - marcel ardans lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when that train comes a*tumbling down
from the mountains cold
we ring the bells at the crossroads
through the valley below

my love was a*running from town
when that midnight train
spilled her blood at the crossroads
when the bells didn’t ring

[chorus]
now i’ll lay me down
by that crossing sign
they’ll talk about tonight
when the same train took the life
of that old beggar boy and the bootlegger’s wife

[mandolin break]

[verse 2]
my love was married to him
that bootlegging man
he loved whiskey and he loved her
she was bound to leave him lord she was for birmingham
we were lovers and the town knew it well
we thought no one would tell
the night she was leaving he heard about me
she died because they told him and he silenced the bells

[chorus]
now i’ll lay me down*
by that crossing sign
they’ll talk about tonight*
when the same train took the life
of that old beggar boy and the bootlegger’s wife

[guitar break]

[bridge]
i hear the bells at the crossroads
where the beggar boy is buried in the valley
when the same train took the life
of that old beggar boy and the bootlegger’s wife
