Boxcars — текст песни (Ely Joe)

Well I gave all my money to the banker this month
Now I got no more money to spend
She smiled when she saw me comin` through that door
When I left she said, "Come back again."
I watched them lonesome boxcar wheels
Turnin` down the tracks out of town
And it`s on that lonesome railroad track
I`m gonna lay my burden down.

I was raised on a farm the first years of my life
Life was pretty good they say
I`ll probably live to be some ripe ol` age
If death`ll stay out of my way
This world can take my money and time
But it sure can`t take my soul
I`m goin` down to the railroad tracks
Watch them lonesome boxcars roll

There`s some big ol` Buicks at the Baptist church
Caddilacs at the Church of Christ
I parked my camel by an ol` haystack
I`ll be lookin for that needle all night
There ain`t gonna be no radial tires
Turnin` down the streets of gold
I`m goin down to the railroad tracks
And watch them lonesome boxcars roll

Now if you ever heard the whistle on a fast freight train
Beatin` out a beautiful tune
If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks
Shinin` by the light of the moon
If you ever felt the locomotive shake the ground
I know you don`t have to be told
Why I`m goin down to the railroad tracks
And watch them lonesome boxcars roll.

Yeah, I`m goin down to the railroad tracks
Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
