Danville girl Letra

Danville girl lyrics

I went down to the railroad yard, watch that train come by,
knew the train would roll that day, but i did not know what time.
I did not know what time, boys, did not know what time.
knew the train would roll that day but i did not know what time.
Good morning mister railroad man, what time does your train roll by?
nine-sixteen and two-forty-four, twenty-five minutes 'til five.

At nine-sixteen, two-forty-four, twenty-five minutes 'til five.
[ De: https://www.dicelacancion.com/letra-danville-girl-ramblin-jack-elliot ]
thank you mister railroad man, i wanna watch your train roll by.
Standing on the platform, smoking a big cigar,
waitin' for some old freight train that carries an empty car.
I rode her down to danville town, got stuck on a danville girl,
bet your life she was a pearl, she wore that danville curl.
She wore her hat on the back of her head like high-tone people all do,
very next train come down that track, i bid that girl adieu.
I bid that girl adieu, poor boys, i bid that girl adieu,
the very next train come down that track, i bid that girl adieu.
