3
She's a railroad lady
4
Just a little bit shady
5
Spendin' her days on the trains
6
She's a semi-good looker
7
But the fast rails they took 'er
8
Now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
9
South Station in Boston to the freightyards of Austin
10
From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
11
Now that the railpacks
12
Has taken the best tracks
13
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
14
She's a railroad lady
15
Just a little bit shady
16
Spendin' her life on a train
17
Once a pullman car traveller
18
Now the brakeman won't have 'er
19
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
20
Once a high ballin' loner he thought he could own 'er
21
Bought her a fur and a big diamond ring
22
She hocked 'em for cold cash
23
Left town on the Wabash
24
Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then
25
But the rails are now rusty
26
The dinin' car's dusty
27
Gold plated watches have taken their toll
28
Yeah the railroads are dyin'
29
And the lady she's cryin'
30
On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal
31
She's a railroad lady
32
Just a little bit shady
33
Spendin' her life on a train
34
She's a semi-good looker
35
But the fast rails they took 'er
36
Now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
37
Coda:
38
Yes on a bus to Kentucky and home once again
