Barry McGuire — Railroad Man

I was running down the track Tract in my hand Want to give my tract to a railroad man Railroad man running fast as he can He don't wanna see the tract I'm holding in my hand You know I sat down on the corner And I started to cry Railroad man is a-fixing to die I couldn't help myself I just broke down and cried The day I heard my railroad man died Yes, he died, railroad man Only one time running His train done broke Blew up all his money On a mystical smoke On a one way trip Shooting down the line Trying so hard to find Just a little peace of mind You know I sat down on the corner And I started to cry Railroad man is a-fixing to die I couldn't help myself I just broke down and cried The day I heard my railroad man diеd Yes, he died, railroad man Wеll, you say you are a linesman You say you're all alone You say you got no reason For ever going home Well, if you hadn't lost your mind Gone deaf, dumb and stone blind You'd know that Jesus has been calling For a long, long time I don't want no more corners I don't want no more cry I don't wanna hear About the day you died Don't you know that you're my brother So take me by the hand Walk along right by my side Until you understand Don't you know that you're my brother So take me by the hand Walk along right by my side Until you understand Won't you take my hand, oh, railroad man Oh, railroad man Mm-hmm, my railroad man Mm-hmm, yeah, railroad man Mmm, take my hand, railroad man
