Railroad Boys

xTHE RAILROAD BOYS By Jim Gaudet

I was born on that mountain, I will die on this trail
I don't know the difference between this job and jail
The beans are hard boys ad the coffee's like dirt
barbed wire is the reason there's blood on my shirt

Chorus:
I ain't gonna work with no railroad boys repeat 3x
they stole my darlin' from me
yea, they stole my darling from me

I've been all around this crazy old world
never got my fill of those barroom girls
Kitty, Samantha, and Amanda Lee
I can still hear them whisper that they're waiting for me
Chorus:

It's so hot in the daytime so cold at night
So lonely 'round the campfire but the singing's alright
Cookie ain't the man that he used to be
Still serves up his stories so hard to believe
Chorus:

Every night when the sun goes down
I unroll my pack and I lay on the ground
I take out your letters, I read 'em and weep
I look to the stars, then I go off to sleep
Chorus:
