Good morning, mister railroad man What time do your trains roll by? At 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'til 5 Well it's 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'til 5 Thank you, mister railroad man I want to watch your trains go by Standing on a platform, smoking a cheap cigar And waiting for an old freight train that carries an empty car Well, I pulled my hat down over my eyes And I walked across the tracks And I caught me the end of an old freight train And I never did come back I sat down in a gambling game But I could not play my hand I was thinking about that woman I loved Run away with another man Run away with another man, poor boy Run away with another man I was thinking about that woman I loved Run away with another man
