Dusty Box Car - Eric Andersen

I'm going my baby

I'm gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I'll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

Once had to love who Kentucky

I once had a love in sunny Tennessee

But a New York gal brought me pain and sadness

And now I'm here as lonely as I can be

'Cause I'm going my baby

I'm gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I'll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

City women bring you grief and sorrow

Country girls are as sweet as they can be

City women are cold and they are shallow

But country girls' love is as deep as the deep blue sea

'Cause I'm going my baby

I'm gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I'll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

Oh when I die and go to heaven

That'll be the last train ride I'll ever see

They'll put a silver spike upon my gravestone

And my casket beneath a weeping willow tree

'Cause I'm going my baby

I'm gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I'll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
