Lyrics:
are made
Down by the Illinois Central railroad line
We guess which way the clanking cars will shunt along the track
The weary switchmen limps along,
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white
Charleston Railroad Tavern sittin' up till I'm blind
She left on that 5-0-9 Eastern standard blue time
My baby left this evening I'd changed all
With a space between her teeth
My sister's a dancer up in Baltimore
At a small cafe on Main
But she ran off with a Negro from the Eastern Shore
paths and railroad tracks may lead
You'll still be home to me
Whoa
Mm, yeah
Whoa
I've seen waterfalls and alleyways
Eastern shores and western
