3x-xx-xx ep047 First Song - The Railroad Crossing

Poor you can grasp its significance as wrapped a mantle of darkness round about you and all but blotted out the trail.

Fortunate are you who have selected a shore for its stout-hearted little pony who will take you safely through. If you'll just give her a head, think done her keen sense of smell, tells her that friends are near.

Why, of course. It's the night camp of Pindoor Pete and his ranch boys. And you're always welcome there. Randall says there's no boss. No, it was just about to sing a song about a fella that went away and left his gal.

Well, go right ahead, Jack. The girls and myself have had a long ride and we're pretty hungry, so we'll eat while you sing. All right, here go. Standing by the railroad crosses, waiting for a westbound train.

I got to think enough the things I had done And to fill my heart with pain I got to think about my honey Back in old Chicago town Then I decided I was starting back home Before the evening sun went down You'll be be be be be be be be I rode the T&P to Dallas

I bought the Kady Flyer there Pulled in the camels really riding their own Never paid a nickel for God himself a midnight mail train Running on the Santa Fe Got in Chicago on a Saturday night as happy as a man could be You today, hey, hey, hey, hey I'll hurry down to see my honey

And this is what you have to say I got tired of waiting so I married a man Who said he'd never go away Ain't no use to stand there dreaming You're just about a year too late.
