Danville Girl - Joel Rafael

I went down to the railroad yard

watch the train come by

Knew that 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

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 gal adieu

I bid that gal adieu poor boys

i bid that gal adieu

The very next train come down that

track i bid that gal adieu
