Waiting on the Hummingbird Lyrics
Hey yonder by the depot where trains don’t run no more
Singing just as softly as the cotton dress she wore
Blonde hair all in tangles and sandals in the dirt
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
Chorus:
Oh come sweet child, ain’t no train a comin’
Ain’t no train tomorrow, ain’t no train yesterday
Magnolia Jackson told her but she never heard a word
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
Steam turned to diesel and diesel turned to rust
The detour turned to highway and that ole town went bust
Some folks turn to whiskey, others to the Holy Word
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
Chorus:
Oh come sweet child, ain’t no train a comin’
Ain’t no train tomorrow, ain’t no train yesterday
Magnolia Jackson told her but she never heard a word
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
Singing just as softly as the cotton dress she wore
Blonde hair all in tangles and sandals in the dirt
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
Chorus:
Oh come sweet child, ain’t no train a comin’
Ain’t no train tomorrow, ain’t no train yesterday
Magnolia Jackson told her but she never heard a word
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
Steam turned to diesel and diesel turned to rust
The detour turned to highway and that ole town went bust
Some folks turn to whiskey, others to the Holy Word
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
Chorus:
Oh come sweet child, ain’t no train a comin’
Ain’t no train tomorrow, ain’t no train yesterday
Magnolia Jackson told her but she never heard a word
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
She sits with her guitar a strummin’, waitin’ on the coming of the Hummingbird
