hank snow – crack in the box car door lyrics
a long black engine keeps a rolling along
it’s wheels goin’ clickety-clack
she’s carrying me to war that eastern seaboard
louisiana i ain’t comin’ back.
and i sit all alone in an empty box
listen to the engine roar
and i see the world that she oughta be seein’
through a crack in the boxcar door.
— instrumental —
a hobo’s life is a lonely life
and i’m restless son of a gun
so i’ll keep a riding these ribbons of steel
and wait for my setting sun.
and i sit all alone in an empty box
listen to the engine roar
and i see the world that she oughta be seein’
through a crack in the boxcar door.
— instrumental —
the engineer is pulling her down
and i reckon we ain’t going to stop
and i’ll be a dodgin’ the man with a stick
i hear him a walkin’ on top.
and i sit all alone in an empty box
listen to the engine roar
and i see the world that she oughta be seein’
through a crack in the boxcar door.
— instrumental —
most folks think i’m a crazy man
at all of hoboes like me
but i let the bottle that holds all
the world and i’ll die happy and free.
and i reckon i’ll die in an empty box
listen to the engine roar
i’ll take the last long look at the world that i love
through a crack in this boxcar door.
i’ll take the last long look at ther world that i love
through a crack in this boxcar door…
