Lyrics:
Rochester New York
Home of the brave
Where shook ones get put in comas and graves
It's real in the ROC
Mamas ride and clap at ya
How you think we got
ticket on the Southern railroad line
I don't have to worry 'cause I know it never leaves on time
Late last night we made love and everything was all
forever more
I'm riding down this sad and lonely southern central railroad line
On my way to misery for such a long long time
I'm traveling down this sad
her away
These words I heard her say
And they're travellin' on that Southern Dixie Flyer
She was only sweet sixteen
And the only joy I've seen
What God
see me out a walking
Talking down that railroad track
You may see me out a walking
Talking down that railroad track
But good gal you done me wrong
I
Running these railroads In this Hell hole I've died over and over to get back to my lifeline
Since you left I haven't lived a day
Tobacco leaves,
sure did
You may see me talking and
Walking down the railroad track
You may see me talking
Walking down the railroad track
But good gal, you done me

The Gandy Dancer is a railroad man
And his work is never done
With his pick and his shovel and his willing hands
He makes the railroad run
Railroad smoke sifting through the strong southern sky
I always knew that one day I'd see you die
Said the man at the junction
To the boy in
John
The Gandy Dancer is a railroad man
And his work is never done
With his pick and his shovel and his willing hands
He makes the railroad run
John
The Gandy Dancer is a railroad man
And his work is never done
With his pick and his shovel and his willing hands
He makes the railroad run
train
Now she's got a fire burnin' deep inside
Ridin' on a southbound train
And the clickity-clack of that railroad track
Only helps to fan the flames
No

The Gandy Dancer is a railroad man
And his work is never done
With his pick and his shovel and his willing hands
He makes the railroad run
John
The Gandy Dancer is a railroad man
And his work is never done
With his pick and his shovel and his willing hands
He makes the railroad run
before
In the southern Indiana antique store
In this dying old town on the railroad line
Where no train has rolled through
Since 1969
The Kiwanis Club
Now she's got a fire burnin' deep inside
Ridin' on a southbound train
And the clickity-clack of that railroad track
Only helps to fan the flames

Well I live out in Southern Arizona
I followed an abandoned railroad track
Trains they used run from Bisbee out to Juarez
But the copper mines are
She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
Down came
She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound Bus
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
Down
She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
Down came
Well, she drew out all her money out from Southern Trust
And put a little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
Down
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide
Well, she drew out all her money out from Southern Trust
And put a little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
Down
on the Southern railroad.
It was 97, the fastest train
Ever ran the Southern line,
All the freight trains and passengers take the side for 97,
For she's bound
