Railroad Lady — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

By: jimmy buffett, jerry jeff walker

1973

Shes a railroad lady

Just a little bit shady

Spendin her days on the trains

Shes a semi-good looker

But the fast rails they took er

Now shes tryin, just tryin to get home again



South station in boston to the freightyards of austin

From the florida sunshine to the new orleans rain

Now that the railpacks

Has taken the best tracks

Shes tryin, just tryin to get home again



Shes a railroad lady

Just a little bit shady

Spendin her life on a train

Once a pullman car traveller

Now the brakeman wont have er

Shes tryin, just tryin to get home again



Once a high ballin loner he thought he could own er

Bought her a fur and a big diamond ring

She hocked em for cold cash

Left town on the wabash

Never thinkin, never thinkin of home way back then



But the rails are now rusty

The dinin cars dusty

Gold plated watches have taken their toll

Yeah the railroads are dyin

And the lady shes cryin

On a bus to kentucky and home thats her goal



Shes a railroad lady

Just a little bit shady

Spendin her life on a train

Shes a semi-good looker

But the fast rails they took er

Now shes tryin, just tryin to get home again



Coda:

Yes on a bus to kentucky and home once again
