hank snow - crack in the box car door lyrics

Loading...

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…
