Bobby Bare - (Margie's At) The Lincoln Park Inn

Watching the Trains Go By

Down at the railroad station, my suitcase sittin' by my side
Got no high hopes of leaving, I'm just watching the trains go by
Watching the trains go by

Lawyer Jabob's wife, she is expecting, and he wonders why in blazes
How his wife could come aflame now, they tried so many times before
Walking back down this dusty farm road, my thirsty mind is high and dry
One more day down at the station watching the trains go by

Down at the railroad station, my suitcase sittin' by my side
Got no high hopes of leaving, I'm just watching the trains go by
Watching the trains go by

Papa's working in the coal mines, mama's lying sick in bed
They'd be better off without me, one less mouth to be fed
Younger brother John is in the jailhouse down on the woodfarm chopping wood
I stayed around and tried to change him, don't look like I done no good

Down at the railroad station, my suitcase sittin' by my side
Got no high hopes of leaving, I'm just watching the trains go by
Watching the trains go by

Down at the railroad station, my suitcase sittin' by my side
Got no high hopes of leaving, I'm just watching the trains go by
