Railroad Man |
| Ad Lib |
| I was a little boy |
| Back in West Virginia |
| We lived very close to a railroad track |
| And I remember I used to dream about them trains |
| And where they might go |
| And the people that worked on the trains |
| And the train made music |
| It made you feel good |
| I can remember sometimes |
| I could just stand off all by myself |
| And just get funky list’nin' to the train |
| And I used to pick up a handful of gravels |
| And throw ‘em down on the ground for ties |
| Yeah and I’d make up songs |
| I’d sing |
| He was a railroad man |
| He was a railroad man |
| He was a railroad man |
| ‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train |
| He rode across the plains |
| He rode on a fruit freight train |
| The hauled bananas to Savannah |
| And wore bandannas made in Old Japan |
| He was a railroad man |
| He was a railroad man |
| He was a railroad man |
| ‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train |
| He used to change his name |
| To every place he came |
| His name was Tex when he’s in Texas |
| And Bangor when he went to Maine |
| He was a railroad man |
| He was a railroad man |
| He was a railroad man |
| ‘Til he stepped in front of the railroad train |
| It’s all right |
| Say you know it’s all right |
| If you’ve ever been downtown |
| You know what I’m talkin' ‘bout |
