Danville Girl lyrics
I went down to the railroad yard, watch that train come by, Knew the 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
girl adieu.
I bid that girl adieu, poor boys, I bid that girl
adieu, The very next train come down that track, I bid that girl adieu.
