ellis paul - jumpin' a train lyrics
the time, 11: 33 on a sat-rday, november, 1923
i’m synchronized, it’s wise to keep my wits about me
my name is roy, a one-time choir boy
now i’m sixteen, man, and i’m n-body’s toy
i’m gonna take to the wind and get this town behind me
(chorus)
i’m jumpin’ a train leavin’ town
howling whistle sounds
and i’m not looking back — gonna tie my fate to a train track
got a whiskey bottle tied in a corn sack
hold on world, i’m coming, i’m hitching a ride on a north-bound train
am i alive? won’t somebody tell me
the mississippi waves, what’s it trying to sell me?
mud in the banks, but no one gets thanks
when it’s tracked in through the doorway
i am home grown, sewn into these britches
but i’m not spending my life digging up ditches
like my daddy did, and his daddy did, and his daddy before
