Down at the railroad station

My suitcase setting by my side

Got no high hopes of leaving

I'm just watching trains go by

Papa's working at the coal mines mama's lying sick in bed

They'd be better off without me one less mouth to be fed

Younger brother John is in the jailhouse down on the wood farm chopping wood

I stayed around and tried to change him don't look like I done no good

Down at the railroad station

My suitcase setting by my side

Got no high hopes leaving

I'm just watching trains go by

Lawyer Jabob's wife she is expecting and he wonders how in blazes

How his wife could come blame now they tried so many times before

Down at the railroad station

My suitcase setting by my side

Got no high hopes of leaving

I'm just watching trains go by

Walking back down this dusty farm road my thirsty minding high and dry

One more day down at the station watching trains go by
