Dusty Box Car Wall - Eric Andersen

I’m going away my baby,

I’m gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

I once had a love in old Kentucky

I once had a love in sunny Tennessee

But a New York gal brought me pain and sadness

Now I’m here as lonely as I can be

City women bring you grief and sorrow

Country girls are as sweet as they can be

City women are as cold as they are shallow

But a country girl’s love is as deep as the deep blue sea

Oh when I die and go to heaven

That’ll be tha last train ride I’ll ever see

They’ll put a silver spike upon my gravestone

And my casket beneath a weeping willow tree
