Tom Paxton - Danville Girl lyrics
[Tom Paxton - Danville Girl lyrics]
I went down to the railroad yard
Watch the train come by
Knew that 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 that track
I bid that gal adieu
I bid that gal adieu, poor boys
I bid that gal adieu
The very next train come down that track
I bid that gal adieu
Watch the train come by
Knew that 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 that track
I bid that gal adieu
I bid that gal adieu, poor boys
I bid that gal adieu
The very next train come down that track
I bid that gal adieu
