Eric Andersen - Dusty Boxcar Wall Lyrics
(Chorus)I’m going away my baby,I’m gonna leave you pretty galFor a train passed by while you lay sleepingI’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall(Verse 1)I once had a love in old KentuckyI once had a love in sunny TennesseeBut a New York gal brought me pain and sadnessNow I’m here as lonely as I can be(Chorus)I’m going away my baby,I’m gonna leave you pretty galFor a train passed by while you lay sleepingI’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall(Verse 2)City women bring you grief and sorrowCountry girls are as sweet as they can beCity women are as cold as they are shallowBut a country girl’s love is as deep as the deep blue sea(Chorus)I’m going away my baby,I’m gonna leave you pretty galFor a train passed by while you lay sleepingI’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall(Instrumental)(Verse 3)Oh when I die and go to heavenThat’ll be the last train ride I’ll ever seeThey’ll put a silver spike upon my gravestoneAnd my casket beneath a weeping willow tree(Chorus)I’m going away my baby,I’m gonna leave you pretty galFor a train passed by while you lay sleepingI’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
