I lost everything I had in the '29 flood |
|
Barn was buried beneath a mile of mud |
|
Now I'm down to nothing but the whistle and the steam |
|
My baby's leaving on the 2:19 |
|
|
|
Now there's a fella been preachin' about hell and damnation |
|
Bouncing off the walls at the grand central station |
|
I treated her bad, I treated her mean |
|
My baby's leaving on the 2:19 |
|
|
|
I said hey, hey, I don't know what to do |
|
Hey, hey, I will remember you |
|
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do |
|
My baby's leaving on the 2:19 |
|
|
|
I've always been puzzled about the yin and the yang |
|
Come out in the wash but it always leaves a stain |
|
Sturm and the drang, the luster and the sheen |
|
My baby's leaving on the 2:19 |
|
|
|
Toss the baby with the water and preacher stole the bride |
|
Sent her out for a bottle but she come back inside |
|
She didn't bring my whiskey, didn't bring my gin |
|
She had a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin |
|
|
|
I said hey, hey, I don't know what to do |
|
Hey, hey, I will remember you |
|
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do |
|
My baby's leaving on the 2:19 |
|
|
|
On the train you get smaller as you get further away |
|
The roar covers everything you wanted to say |
|
Was that a raindrop in the corner of your eye? |
|
Were you drying your nails or waving good bye? |
|
|
|
I said hey, hey, I don't know what to do |
|
Hey, hey, I will remember you |
|
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do |
|
My baby's leaving on the 2:19 |
