《Greenlight On The Southern》歌词

[00:00:00] Greenlight On The Southern - Tony Rice

[00:00:09] Standing on the sidetrack at the south end of town

[00:00:13] On a dry hot dusty August day the steam pipe pouring down

[00:00:19] The fireman with his long oil can oiling the old valve gears

[00:00:23] Waiting for the fast mail train to semaphore to clear

[00:00:29] The engineer in the old high cab his gold watch in his hand

[00:00:34] Looking at the water glass and letting down the sand

[00:00:39] Rolling out on the old main line taking up the slack

[00:00:43] Gone today so they say but tomorrow he'll be back

[00:00:49] Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine

[00:00:58] And the greenlight on the southern southern railroad line

[00:01:27] Creeping down the rusty rails of the w**d grown branch line

[00:01:31] The section houses gray and white by the yard limit sign

[00:01:36] The hoggers call the old high ball no more time to wait

[00:01:41] Rolling down to Birmingham with a ten car load for freight

[00:01:46] Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine

[00:01:55] And the greenlight on the southern southern railroad line

[00:02:24] The whistle scream with a hiss of steam the headlight gleams clear

[00:02:29] The drivers roll on the green and go getting mighty near

[00:02:33] Handing up the orders to the engine crew on time

[00:02:38] It's the Alabama great southern AGS railroad line

[00:02:44] Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine

[00:02:53] And that greenlight on the southern southern railroad line

[00:02:59] Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine

[00:03:08] And that greenlight on the southern southern railroad line
