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.
