Greenville Trestle High |
I remember as a boy |
How I’d wander and enjoy |
I’d watch the trains as they’d go by |
And the whistle’s lonely sound |
You could hear for miles around |
As they rolled across that Greenville trestle high |
But the whistles don’t sound like they used to |
Lately not many trains go by |
Hard times across the land |
Mean no work for the railroad man |
And the Greenville trestle now don’t seem so high |
On the river bank I’d stand |
With a cane pole in my hand |
Watch the freight trains up against the sky |
With black smoke trailing back |
As they moved along the track |
That runs across that Greenville trestle high |
But the whistles don’t sound like they used to |
Lately not many trains go by |
Hard times across this land |
Mean no work for the railroad man |
And the Greenville trestle now don’t seem so high |
When the lonesome whistles wind |
I get ramblin' on my mind |
Lord, I wish they still sounded that way |
As I turned to head for home |
Lord, she’d rumble low and long |
Towards the sunset at the close of day |
No, the whistles don’t sound like they used to |
Lately not many trains go by |
Hard times across the land |
Mean no work for the railroad man |
And the Greenville trestle now don’t seem so high |
No, the Greenville trestle now don’t seem so high |
