Lyrics:
Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose
Wondering where the freight train goes
Standin' in the field by the railroad track
Cursin' this strap on my
When Jimmie Rodgers first sang California Blues he'd never been to the
golden state. He wrote and recorded the song in October 1928
He always dreamed
guest
And I'm not as bad, as you might think I am
Though I've traveled here, or hobo'ed there
Rambled these states around
Blue railroad train,
of talk
He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
Get off get off you railroad bum he slammed
twin fire signs
Four blue eyes
So you were never a saint
And I loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
But
railroad bum"
And he slammed the boxcar door.
Well he put me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
With the wide open spaces
All around me
The moon
a line of talk
He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
Get off get off you railroad bum
a line of talk
He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
Get off get off you railroad bum
railroad bum
He slammed the boxcar door
Well, he put me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
Wide open spaces all around me, Lord
The moon and stars above
My
of talk
He said if you've got money boy I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
Get off get off you railroad bum
Just twin fire signs
Four blue eyes
So you were never a saint
And I loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
Just twin fire signs
Four blue eyes
So you were never a saint
And I loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
Pierce the room like a cannonball
Now all we know
Is don't let go
We are alone, just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
Just twin
out on to the lonesome trail and let you down?
I'm the lonely twin, the left hand
I don't want this isolation
See the state I'm in now?
If I pick
He said if you've got money boy I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
Get off get off you railroad bum and he
Turn the beat down, the bass crazy
Twin (twin), that's my twin (that's my twin)
Twin (twin), that's my twin (that's my twin)
GLE (GLE), matchin'
Just twin fire signs
Four blue eyes
So you were never a saint
And I loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts

And I'm not as bad, as you might think I am
Though I've traveled here, or hobo'ed there
Rambled these states around
Blue railroad train,
If you've got a road map of Texas
You can see that it's a wide open state
From Amarillo down to Boulder
You can bet that it's a honky-tonky place
railroad bum"
He slammed the boxcar door
He put me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars up above
Whenever I come back
The air on Railroad is making the same sounds
And the shop fronts on Holly are dirty words
Asterisks in for the vowels

we go from here? Oh woman, my woman"
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And she said, "nowhere"
Did you hear about the railroad going under
How
we go from here? Oh woman, my woman"
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And she said, "nowhere"
Did you hear about the railroad going under
How
girl knew she wouldn't be there long
'Cause she had plans and dreams
And she'd seen pictures of the sunshine state
In the pages of the magazine
