Текст песни Steel Rail Blues

(Gordon Lightfoot)

Well, I got my mail late last night
A letter from a boy who found the time to write
To his lonesome girl somewhere in the night
He sent me a railroad ticket too
To take me to his lovin' arms
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love.

I been out here many long days
I haven't found a place that I could call my own
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
I been stood up, I been shook down
I been dragged into the sand
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love.

I been up tight most every night
Walkin' along the streets of this old town
Not a friend around to tell my troubles toSweethearts Of The Rodeo - Steel Rail Blues - http://ru.motolyrics.com/sweethearts-of-the-rodeo/steel-rail-blues-lyrics.html
My good old car she done broke down
'Cause I drove it into the ground
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love.

Well, I look over yonder cross the plain
The big drive wheels a poundin' along the ground
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal and Lord I need one now
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love.
