?I remember as a boy how I'd wander and enjoy |
| [00:16.91] |
I'd watch the trains as they'd go by |
| [00:21.80] |
And the whistle's lonely sound |
| [00:24.27] |
You could hear for miles around |
| [00:26.87] |
As they rolled across that Greenville trestle high |
| [00:32.05] |
But the whistles don't sound like they used to |
| [00:37.41] |
Lately not many trains go by hard times across the land |
| [00:44.61] |
Mean no work for the railroad man |
| [00:47.49] |
And the Greenville trestle now don't seem so high |
| [00:51.70] |
|
| [01:12.81] |
On the river bank I'd stand |
| [01:15.19] |
With a cane pole in my hand |
| [01:17.76] |
Watch the freight trains up against the sky |
| [01:22.87] |
With black smoke trailing back as they moved along the track |
| [01:27.95] |
That runs across that Greenville trestle high |
| [01:33.01] |
But the whistles don't sound like they used to |
| [01:38.40] |
Lately not many trains go by hard times across this land |
| [01:45.47] |
Mean no work for the railroad man |
| [01:48.31] |
And the Greenville trestle now don't seem so high |
| [01:53.59] |
|
| [02:33.36] |
When the lonesome whistles wind |
| [02:35.48] |
I get rambling on my mind |
| [02:38.16] |
Lord I wish they still sounded that way |
| [02:43.20] |
As I turned to head for home lord she'd rumble low and long |
| [02:48.63] |
Towards the sunset at the close of day |
| [02:53.27] |
No the whistles don't sound like they used to |
| [02:58.54] |
Lately not many trains go by hard times across the land |
| [03:05.66] |
Mean no work for the railroad man |
| [03:08.32] |
And the Greenville trestle now don't seem so high |
| [03:13.35] |
No the Greenville trestle now don't seem so high |
| [03:17.53] |
