Ry Cooder - Good Morning Mr Railroad Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Good morning, mister railroad man
What time do your trains roll by?
"At 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'til 5"
Well it's 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'til 5
Thank you, mister railroad man
I want to watch your trains go by

[Verse 2]
Standing on a platform, smoking a cheap cigar
And waiting for an old freight train that carries an empty car
Well, I pulled my hat down over my eyes
And I walked across the tracks
And I caught me the end of an old freight train
And I never did come back

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
I sat down in a gamblin' game
But I could not play my hand
I was thinkin' about that woman I loved
Run away with another man
Run away with another man, poor boy
Run away with another man
I was thinking about that woman I loved
Run away with another man
