| Well I got my mail late last night |
| A letter from a girl who found the time |
| To write |
| To her lonesome boy somewheres in the |
| Night |
| She sent me a railroad ticket too |
| To take me to her lovinЂ™ arms |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me |
| Home to the one I love |
| Well I bin out here many long days |
| I havenЂ™t found a place that I could call |
| My own |
| Not a two bit bed to lay my body on |
| I bin stood up I bin shook down |
| I bin dragged into the sand |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me |
| Home to the one I love |
| Ooooh oooo oo whu hu hoo |
| Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo |
| Well I bin up tight most every night |
| WalkinЂ™ along the streets of this old town |
| Not a friend around to tell my troubles to |
| My good old car she done broke down |
| Ђ™cause I drove it into the ground |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me |
| Home to the one I love |
| Well I look over yonder across the plain |
| The big drive wheels are poundinЂ™ along |
| The ground |
| Gonna get on board and IЂ™ll be homeward |
| Bound |
| Now I ainЂ™t had a home cooked meal |
| And lord I need one now |
| And the big steel rail gonna carry me |
| Home to the one I love |
| Now here I am with my hat in hand |
| StandinЂ™ on the broad highway will you |
| Give a ride |
| To a lonesome boy who missed the train |
| Last night |
| I went in town for one last round |
| And I gambled my ticket away |
| And the big steel rail wonЂ™t carry me |
| Home to the one I love |
