1. I was Running down the track, Tract in my hand,
2. one time running, His train done broke,
3. say you are a linesman. Say you're all a-lone,
Want to give my tract to a rail- road man. Railroad
Blew up all his money on a mystical smoke, on a one way
Say you got no reason for ever going home. Well, if you hadn't
Man running as fast as he can for
Trip shooting down the line
Lost your mind, gone deaf, dumb, and stone blind You'd know that
He don't want to see the tract I'm holding in my hand
Trying so hard to find just a little peace of mind.
Jesus has been calling for a long, long time.
(1,2) You know I sat down on the corner and I started to cry
(3) I don't want no more corners and I don't want to cry,
Railroad man is a fixing to die. (1,2) I couldn't help myself,
I just broke down and cried the day I heard my railroad man died.
yes he died, Railroad man. 2. Only
3. Well you
(3) Don't you know that you're my brother so take me by the hand,
Walk along right by my side until you understand. (repeat back to 3 on first))
Oh take my hand, Oh, Oh, Rail road man.
