Railroad Bum lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jim Reeves Album: Country Side
Lyrics
I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go I rode freights from canada down to mexico From sunny cal to minnesot where the rippling waters falls I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore I walked in the silver dollar in reno one night Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit the lemons lined up right Took my winnings then played poker and I won ten thousand more I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore [ guitar - steel ] When cotton's white in tennessee and shrimp boats sail in maine Peach picking time soon will find me ridin' a georgia train Couse I get restless when I'm still I guess I always will Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore
