Blackfoot — Railroad Man lyrics

Lyrics

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, One of these mornings, it won’t be long
Captain’s gonna call and I’ll be gone
I’ll be nine hundred miles away from home
You can count the days I’m gone
You can tell the train I’m on You can hear the whistle blow as she rolls by She rolls by, she rolls by Hear the whistle blow as she rolls by My olden shoes are worn
My olden clothes are torn
And I hate to go home now this-a-way
This-a-way, this-a-way
Hate to go home this-a-way
Well, if my Mama she says so, I’ll railroad no more
I’ll side-track my train and go home
And go home, and go home
Side-track my train and go home
If I die a Railroad Man
I wanna be buried in the sand
So I can hear old No. 9 as she rolls by She rolls by, she rolls by Hear old No. 9 as she rolls by
