( parfitt / lancaster ) |
|
Down at backwater junction |
|
Rolling down the line |
|
In the dark early morning |
|
I heard the one-forty-nine |
|
I was walking down the highway |
|
Needed somewhere to go |
|
A lady laid beside me |
|
And she invited me home |
|
She led me cold, tired and hungry |
|
Down the backwater road |
|
In a house on the corner |
|
Looking over the track |
|
I woke up with a fever |
|
And a pain in my back |
|
She was lying there beside me |
|
My fever started to grow |
|
Had a funny feeling |
|
But the lady said no |
|
The lover needs a doctor |
|
Down the backwater road |
|
Whatcha' lookin' for |
|
Whatcha' lookin' for |
|
Lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for |
|
Was i wrong to play along |
|
Lady was i right or lady was i wrong |
|
Backwater doctor |
|
You've got me breathing in time |
|
It's ten-thirty in the morning |
|
And i'm feeling alright |
|
I went back to my lady |
|
But i wasn't to know |
|
Lady left this morning |
|
And she's not coming home |
|
I was cold when she left me |
|
Down the backwater road |
