railroad jerk - old mcneil lyrics

old mcneil walking down the road
the sun was beginning to set
stopping for a moment to wipe from his brow
a trickling bead of sweat
john brown stood in the yard, he was
chopping a block of wood
“my back’s thrown out”, mcneil said
“i’d help you if i could”
“that’s okay”, john brown said
and he looked at the setting sun
“after i finish this one here
i reckon i’ll be done”

mcneil scratched on the back of his head
the lines showing on his face
he looked out across john brown’s field
said “i like what you’ve done to the place
well, it’s been one year now sincе rita passed”
mcneil said with a sigh
“i don’t get out much anymorе”
and he wiped a speck from his eye
“well, it’s strange. i used to want this
so much time to spend on my own
all those years with rita
now i’m alone”
“my marie’s been good to me”
john brown said in answer
“if she should go before i do
i reckon i would suffer
well, dinner’s ready by now, i guess
you’re welcome if you’d like to join us”
“no, no, thanks”, mcneil replied
“i have some other appointments”
mcneil walked back down the same road
the grass blowing, and the bees
crow flew up and lit up into
a distant grove of trees
