two gallants - train the stole my man lyrics

well my daddy was a rounder,
had to make himself some change
climbed down off the mountain, shaved his head and caught a train
but i keep my skillet greasy,
keep my lamp trimmed and low
my weary feet, these floors i walk
but why i’ll never know
and i hear echoes of his heart
beating back from distant lands
and i hear the lonesome whistle of that train that stole my man
and i cuddle to my child
teach him to bare the shame
to take the blows that to’s the fro’s and earn an honest name
but money’s running low, y’know
no friends to help me through
just one last thing that i can sell
and that’ll have to do
but i fell hunger in my sunken cheeks,
in the tremble of my hands
and i fell the rumbling of the wheels of that train that stole my man

and my mind just takes to rambling
as the day goes walking west
and madness come a-crawling through that hole inside my breast
and sorrow sings a simple song
that screams the whole night through
a melody of him and me that never rang so true
and i see dark clouds on the rise
and i see midgets in the sand
they paint my sight with visions of that train that stole my man

and i dreamt i found his crossroads in the land of sticks and stones
where the petty worries of the heart are worries so unknown
he took me in his arms, y’know
and tied me to his side
caught that first wind off the hills and further we did ride
we i felt his touch upon my breast, that unforgiving hand
but when i woke, could smell the smoke of that train that stole my man

now the wind runs through my skin
and the rain runs through my eyes
can’t find no ground to hold my feet
lord knows how hard i tries
but come the dawn i’ll clean my teeth
and powder up my chest
take off this faded apr-n, babe
and put on my sunday best
and to find the strings to fix my heart
go look to holy lands
and lay my back down on the track of that train that stole my man
