long track blues - sterling a. brown lyrics

Loading...

went down to the yards
to see the signal lights come on;
looked down to the track
where my lovin’ babe done gone

red light in my block
green light down the line;
lawdy, let yo’ green light
shine down on that babe o’ mine

heard a train callin’
blowin’ long ways down the track;
ain’t no train due here
baby, what can you bring back?

brakeman tells me
got a powerful ways to go;
he don’t know my feelin’s
baby, when he’s talkin’ so

lanterns a-swingin’
an’ a long freight leaves the yard;
leaves me here, baby
but my heart it rides de rod

sparks a flyin’
wheels rumblin’ wid a mighty roar;
then the red tail light
and the place gets dark once more

dog in the freight room
howlin’ like he los’ his mind;
might howl myself
if i was the howlin’ kind

norfolk and western
baby, and the c. & o.:
how come they treat
a hardluck feller so?

red light in my block
green light down the line;
lawdy, let yo’ green light
shine down on that babe o’ mine
