Train The Stole My Man
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 apron, 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
