1
well i come in on a night train
2
with an arm full of box cars
3
on the wings of a magpie
4
cross a hooligan night
5
and i busted up a chifforobe
6
way out by the cocomo
7
cooked up a mess a mulligan
8
and got into a fight
9
CHORUS:
10
whistlin past the graveyard
11
steppin on a crack
12
i'm a mean motherhubbard
13
papa one eyed jack
14
you propably seen me sleepin
15
out by the railroad tracks
16
go on and ask the prince of darkness
17
what about all thet smoke
18
come from the stack
19
sometimes i kill myself a jacket
20
suck out all the blood
21
steal myself a stationwagon
22
drivin through the mud
23
CHORUS
24
i know you seen my headlights
25
and the honkin of my horn
26
i'm callin out my bloodhounds
27
chase the devil through the corn
28
last night i chugged the mississippi
29
now that suckers dry as a bone
30
born in a taxi cab
31
i'm never comin home
32
CHORUS
33
my eyes have seen the glory
34
of the draining of the ditch
35
i only come to baton rouge
36
to find myself a witch
37
i'm-ona snatch me up a
38
couple of em every time it rains
39
you see a locomotive
40
probably thinkin its a train
41
CHORUS
42
what you think is the sunshine
43
is just a twinkle in my eye
44
that ring around my fingers
45
just the 4th of july
46
when i get a little bit lonesome
47
and a tear falls from my cheek
48
theres gonna be an ocean in
49
the middle of the week
50
CHORUS
51
i rode into town on a night train
52
with an arm full of box cars
53
on the wings of a magpie
54
cross a hooligan night
55
i'm-ona tear me off a rainbow
56
and wear it for a tie
57
i never told the truth
58
so i can never tell a lie
59
CHORUS
