Danville Girl Lyrics
My pocketbook was empty
My heart was full of pain
1000 miles away from home
Bumming a a railroad train
Standing on a platform
Smoking a big cigar
Waiting for the next freight train
To carry an empty car
Good morning mister railroad man
What time does the train roll by
9:16, 2:44, 25 minutes til 5
9:16, 2:44, 25 minutes til 5
Thank you mister railroad man
Gonna watch your train roll by
I got off at Danville
Got stuck on a Danville Girl
You can bet your life she was out of sight
She wore that Danville curl
Took my hat on the back of her head
Like high-toned people do
But the very next train come down the track
Bid that girl adieu
Pulled my cap down over my eyes
Went a walkin down the track
Got on to some old freight train
Never did go back.
My heart was full of pain
1000 miles away from home
Bumming a a railroad train
Smoking a big cigar
Waiting for the next freight train
To carry an empty car
What time does the train roll by
9:16, 2:44, 25 minutes til 5
9:16, 2:44, 25 minutes til 5
Thank you mister railroad man
Gonna watch your train roll by
Got stuck on a Danville Girl
You can bet your life she was out of sight
She wore that Danville curl
Like high-toned people do
But the very next train come down the track
Bid that girl adieu
Went a walkin down the track
Got on to some old freight train
Never did go back.
