beverly mahr - crescent city blues lyrics

Loading...

i hear the train a-comin, it’s rolling ’round the bend
and i ain’t been kissed lord since i don’t know when
the boys in crescent city don’t seem to know i’m here
that lonesome whistle seems to tell me, sue, disappear

when i was just a baby my mama told me, sue
when you’re grown up i want that you should go and see and do
but i’m stuck in crescent city just watching life mosey by
when i hear that whistle blowin’, i hang my head and cry

i see the rich folks eatin’ in that fancy dining car
they’re probably having pheasant breast and eastern caviar
now i ain’t crying envy and i ain’t crying me
it’s just that they get to see things that i’ve never seen

if i owned that lonesome whistle, if that railroad train was mine
i bet i’d find a man a little farther down the line
far from crescent city is where i’d like to stay
and i’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
