1
I stood in line and left my name
2
Took about six hours or so
3
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
4
Said they'd let me know
5
I put in my time till the pocono line
6
Shut down two years ago
7
I was staying at the mission till I met Marie
8
Now I can't stay there no more
9
Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man
10
To move some old cars around
11
Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out
12
Van and do a little settlin' down
13
Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride
14
And the junkyard's a pretty good ways
15
That job's about a half week old besides
16
It'd be gone now anyway
17
Unemployment said I got no more checks
18
And they showed me to the hall
19
My brother died in Georgia some time ago
20
I got no one left to call
21
Summer wasn't bad below the bridge
22
A little short on food that's all
23
Now I gotta get marie some kind of coat
24
We're headed down into fall
25
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
26
Hustled up a little dough
27
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled
28
A couple of months ago
29
They got my harp and they got my dollar
30
Them low life so and so's
31
Harps cost money and I ain't got it
32
It's my own fault I suppose
33
The pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin'
34
Two freights everyday
35
If it was just me I'd be headed south
36
But Marie can't catch no train
37
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby,
38
Says we gotta wait and see
39
In my heart I know it's a little boy
40
Hope he don't end up like me
41
Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file
42
I gotta stand in line again
43
I want to kill him but I just say no
44
I had enough of that line my friend
45
I head back to the bridge, it's getting kinda cold
46
I'm feelin' too low down to lie
47
I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth
48
Hope she don't break down and cry
49
Marie she didn't wake up this morning
50
She didn't even try
51
She just rolled over and went to heaven
52
My little boy safe inside
53
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them
54
Caught a Chesapeake on the fly
55
Marie will know I'm headed south
56
So's to meet me by and by
57
Marie will know I'm headed south
58
So to meet me by and by
