מילים לשיר Steel Rail Blues – Gordon Lightfoot

Well I got my mail late last night
To her lonesome boy somewheres in the night
She sent me a railroad ticket too
A letter from a girl who found the time to write
To take me to her lovin' arms
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Ooooh oooo oo whu hu hoo Well I bin out here many a long days
I bin stood up I bin shook down
I haven't found a place that I could call my own
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on I bin dragged into the sand
Well I bin up tight most every night
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Walkin' along the streets of this old town
My good old car she done broke down
'Cause i drove it into the ground
Not a friend to tell my troubles to
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love Well I look over yonder across the plain
The big drive wheels are poundin' along the ground
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound
And Lord I need one now
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Now here I am with my hat in hand Standin' on the broad highway will you give a ride
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night
I went in town for one last round
And I gambled my ticket away
And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love.
