the journeymen - ben and me lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
yes, i know, yes, i know
yes, i know, yes, i know
i know

[verse 1]
an older brother, ben
he was one of them ramblin’ men
and one night says to me
“come on, ride the rods with me

[verse 2]
’cause there ain’t no prettier sight
than a freight train runnin’ at night
if you don’t believe i’m right
come on follow me tonight

[verse 3]
come on, boy, grab that rail
if you miss it, hit them wheels
yes, you know, yes, you know”
yes, you know

[bridge]
when you hear a whistle blow
we’ve been there and gone, you know
[verse 4]
was the first snow of the year
we was travellin’ outta here
up that rocky mountain chain
through that drivin’ snow and rain

[verse 5]
old ben coughed and next to me
says, “don’t think i’ll make it down to tennessee”
yes, i know, yes, i know
yes, i know

[verse 6]
good lord, we’re sidetracked on the top
and that snow ain’t gonna stop
yes, i know, yes, i know
i know

[verse 7]
old ben died just before dawn
the sun come out, and the train moved on
well, we buried him in the plain
ben ain’t a+goin’ bummin’ again

[outro]
when i hear a whistle blow
