Hank Snow Golden Rocket Lyrics

Golden Rocket Lyrics

From ol' Montana down to Alabama

I've been before and I'll travel again

You triflin' women can't keep a good man down

You dealt the cards but you missed the play

So hit the road and be on your way

Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town



I was a good engine a runnin' on time

But baby I'm switchin' to another line

So honey never hang your signal out for me

I'm tired of runnin' on the same ol' track

Bought a one way ticket and I won't be back

This Golden Rocket's gonna blow my blues away



Hear that lonesome whistle blow

Well, that's your cue and by now you know

That I got another true love waitin' in Tennessee

That midnight special is burnin' the rail

So woman don't try to follow my trail

This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away



Hear her thunder on through the night

That Golden Rocket is doin' me right

And that sunny ol' southland sure is a part of me

Now from your call board erase my name

Your fire went out, you done lost your flames

And this Golden Rocket is rollin' my blues away



That old conductor he seemed to know

You done me wrong, I was feelin' low

For he yelled aloud, "We're over that Dixon Line"

The brakeman started singin' a song

Said, "You're worried now but it won't be long

This Golden Rocket is leavin' your blues behind"



Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl

"Let's rise and shine, good mornin' y'all"

And I sprang to my feet to greed the new born day

When I kissed my baby at the station door

That whistle blew like it never before

Of the Golden Rocket that rolled my blues away
