| The last train’s leaving
|
| Blind Willie’s there
|
| Playing the blues and going nowhere
|
| He drinks too much
|
| Could’ve been great
|
| It’s too late baby now it’s too late
|
| Bluer words were never spoken
|
| Promises forever broken
|
| Trains coming through
|
| And the whistle cries for you
|
| Bluer words were never spoken
|
| You give Willie a brand new ten
|
| You always saw the best in him
|
| Baby please don’t go
|
| I swear I’ll change
|
| You say you’re sorry but I’m too late
|
| Rain’s beatin' down
|
| Everybody’s gone
|
| Willie still singing the same sad song
|
| I say Willie give it a break
|
| And he just says it won’t stop the rain |
