woody guthrie – the gambler lyrics
the gambler
“good morning mister railroad man.
what time do your trains toll by?”
“at nine-sixteen and two-forty-four
and twenty five minutes till five.”
“it’s nine-sixteen and two-forty-four,
twenty-five minutes till five,
thank you mr. railroad man,
i want to watch your trains roll by.”
standing on a platform,
smoking a cheap cigar
waiting for an old freight-train
that carries an empty car.
well, l pulled my hat down over my eyes,
and l walked across the track,
and i caught me the end of an old freight-train,
and i never did come back.
i sat down in a gamblin’ game,
and i could not play my hand,
just thinkin’ about that woman i love
run away with another man.
run away with another man, poor boy
run away with another man,
i was thinking about that woman that l love,
run away with another man.
note: a sort of montage of pieces of poor by and danville girl rg
recorded by cisco houston. also, i think, woody guthrie
