Poor Boy |
| I went down to the railroad yard, Watch the train come by |
| Knew that train would roll that day But I did not know what time |
| I did not know what time, boys, did not know what time |
| Knew the train would roll that day but I did not know what time |
| Good morning, Mister railroad man, what time does your train roll by? |
| Nine sixteen and two forty four, twenty five minutes? |
| til five |
| At nine sixteen, two forty four, twenty five minutes? |
| til five |
| Thank you, Mister railroad man, I wanna watch your train roll by |
| Standing on the platform, smoking a big cigar |
| Waitin' for some old freight train that carries an empty car |
| I rode her down to Danville town, got stuck on a Danville girl |
| Bet your life she was a pearl, she wore that Danville curl |
| She wore her hat on the back of her head like high tone people all do |
| Very next train come down that track, I bid that gal adieu |
| I bid that gal adieu, poor boys, I bid that gal adieu |
| The very next train come down that track, I bid that gal adieu |
