danville girl - ramblin' jack elliott lyrics
[verse]
i went down to the railroad yard, watch that train come by
knew the train would roll that day, but i did not know what time
i did not know what time, boys, did not know what time
knew the train would roll that day but i did not know what time
good morning mister railroad man, what time does your train roll by?
nine-sixteen and two-forty-four, twenty-five minutes until five
at nine-sixteen, two-forty-four, twenty-five minutes until five
thank you mister railroad man, i wanna watch your train roll by
standing on the platform, smoking a big cigar
waiting for some old freight train that carries an empty car
i rode her down to danville town, got stuck on a danville girl
bet your life she was a pearl, she wore that danville curl
she wore her hat on the back of her head like high-tone people all do
very next train come down that track, i bid that girl adieu
i bid that girl adieu, poor boys, i bid that girl adieu
the very next train come down that track, i bid that girl adieu
