Song information
Artist: Woody Guthrie Album: Poor Boy
Lyrics
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 'til five
At nine-sixteen, two-forty-four, twenty-five minutes 'til five Thank you mister railroad man, I wanna watch your train roll by
Standing on the platform, smoking a big cigar Waitin' 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 taht 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
