| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. | |
