Steel Rail Blues

Written by - Gordon Lightfoot
5
Well I got my mail late last night
6
A letter from a girl who found the time to write
7
To her lonesome boy somewhere in the night
8
She sent me a railroad ticket too
9
To take me to her loving arms
10
And the big steel rail
11
Gonna carry me home to the one I love
12
Well I been out here many a long days
13
I haven't found a place that I could call my own
14
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
15
I been stood up I been shook down
16
I bin dragged into the sand
17
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
18
Well I been up tight most every night
19
Walking along the streets of this old town
20
Not a friend to tell my troubles to
21
My good old car she done broke down
22
'Cause I drove it into the ground
23
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
24
Well look over yonder across the plain
25
The big drive wheels a-pounding along the ground
26
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound
27
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal
28
And Lord I need one now
29
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
30
Now here I am with my head in the sand
31
Standing on the broad highway will you give a ride
32
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night
33
I went in town for one last round
34
And I gambled my ticket away
35
And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love
