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