jim reeves - railroad bum lyrics
i used to be a railroad b-m a living on the go
i rode freights from canada down to mexico
from sunny cal to minnesota where the rippling waters falls
i never seemed to have a dime but i had myself a ball.
singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
i used to be a railroad b-m but i’m not anymore.
i walked in the silver dollar in reno one night
i dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit
the lemons lined up right
took my winnings then played poker
and i won ten thousand more
i used to be a railroad b-m but i’m not anymore.
singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
i used to be a railroad b-m but i’m not anymore.
— instrumental —
when cotton’s white in tennessee
and shrimp boats sail in maine
peach picking time soon will find me ridin’ a georgia train
couse i get restless when i’m still i guess i always will
want to keep traveling all my life over another hill.
singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
i used to be a railroad b-m but i’m not anymore.
singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
i used to be a railroad b-m but i’m not anymore…
