Thread Name: Lyr Req: If I Die A Railroad Man
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If I Die A Railroad Man
Those are not the right lyrics. It goes sort of like this.
Railroad is spanish? cars on the track?
take my girl to germany and it'll never bring her back.
Fare thee well my darling fare thee well my dear.
Fare thee well my darling I cannot leave you here.
The last verse goes,
If I die a railroad man bury me beneath the ties
so I can hear old number 9 as she goes rolling by.
