《Greenlight On The Southern》歌词

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

[00:00:09] Standing on the sidetrack

[00:00:11] At the south end of town

[00:00:14] On a dry hot dusty August

[00:00:16] Day the steam pipe pouring down

[00:00:18] The fireman with his long oil

[00:00:21] Can oiling the old valve gears

[00:00:24] Waiting for the fast mail

[00:00:25] Train to semaphore to clear

[00:00:30] The engineer in the old high cab

[00:00:32] His gold watch in his hand

[00:00:34] Looking at the water glass

[00:00:36] And letting down the sand

[00:00:39] Rolling out on the old

[00:00:40] Main line taking up the slack

[00:00:43] Gone today so they say

[00:00:46] But tomorrow he'll be back

[00:00:49] Oh if I could return to

[00:00:54] Those boyhood days of mine

[00:00:58] And the greenlight on the

[00:01:00] Southern southern railroad line

[00:01:27] Creeping down the rusty rails

[00:01:29] Of the w**d grown branch line

[00:01:31] The section houses gray and

[00:01:33] White by the yard limit sign

[00:01:36] The hoggers call the old high ball

[00:01:38] No more time to wait

[00:01:41] Rolling down to Birmingham

[00:01:43] With a ten car load for freight

[00:01:46] Oh if I could return to

[00:01:51] Those boyhood days of mine

[00:01:55] And the greenlight on the

[00:01:57] Southern southern railroad line

[00:02:24] The whistle scream with a hiss of steam

[00:02:26] The headlight gleams clear

[00:02:29] The drivers roll on the green

[00:02:30] And go getting mighty near

[00:02:33] Handing up the orders to

[00:02:35] The engine crew on time

[00:02:38] It's the Alabama great

[00:02:39] Southern AGS railroad line

[00:02:44] Oh if I could return to

[00:02:48] Those boyhood days of mine

[00:02:53] And that greenlight on

[00:02:54] The southern southern railroad line

[00:02:59] Oh if I could return to

[00:03:04] Those boyhood days of mine

[00:03:08] And that greenlight on

[00:03:10] The southern southern railroad line
