Good Morning Mr. Railroad Man

Ry Cooder

Good morning, Mr. Railroad Man 
What time do your trains roll by ? 
"At 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'till 5" 
"At 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'till 5" 
Thank you, Mr. Railroad Man 
I want to watch your trains go by 

Standing on a platform, smoking a cheap cigar 
And waiting for an old freight train that carries an empty car 
Well, I pulled my hat down over my eyes 
And I walked across the tracks 
And I caught me the end of an old freight train 
And I never did come back 

Well, I sat down in a gamblin' game 
But I could not play my hand 
I was thinkin' about the woman I loved 
Run away with another man, poor boy 
Run away with another man 
I was thinking about the woman that I loved 
Run away with another man
