"It's nine-sixteen and two-orty-four,
Twenty-five minutes till five,
Thank you, Mr. Railroad man,
I want to watch your trains roll by."

verse 3
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.

verse 4
Run away with another man, poor boy,
Run away with another man,
I was thinking aout that woman that I love,
Run away with another man.

verse 5
Standing on a platform,
Smoking a cheap cigar
Waiting for an old freight-train
That carries an empty car.

verse 6
Well, I pulled my hat down over my eyes,
And I walked across the track,
And I caught me the end of an old freight train,
And I never did come back.
