Marty Robbins - Southern Dixie Flyer Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • At the station house one day
  • Was a lady old and gray
  • I could tell her heart was feelin' sad and low
  • With a teardrop in her eye
  • she was tryin' not to cry
  • I determined then her story I would know
  • I ventured a word
  • Then a sad, sad tale I heard
  • Of a mother who had lost her only child
  • Yes they've taken her away
  • These words I heard her say
  • And they're travellin' on that Southern Dixie Flyer
  • She was only sweet sixteen
  • And the only joy I've seen
  • What God has given now he takes away
  • She'll be taken home again
  • On that southbound railroad train
  • To be laid there with her daddy in the grave
  • I've no money of my own
  • I can't even take her home
  • But I want to be there with my heart's desire
  • But then she could say no more
  • As the echo drifted o'er
  • Was the whistle of that Southern Dixie Flyer
  • As the train pulled out of sight
  • And the day became as night
  • Was a scene to bring a tear to any eye
  • Just a lady all alone
  • Not a thing to call her own
  • But some memories from a better day gone by
  • I knew right away
  • There was nothin' I could say
  • To soothe her heart
  • Or dry those tear dimmed eyes
  • So I turned to walk away
  • From the lady old and gray
  • Whose heart was on that Southern Dixie Flyer
  • I've no money of my own
  • I can't even take her home
  • But I want to be there with my heart's desire
  • But then she could say no more
  • As the echo drifted o'er
  • Was the whistle of that Southern Dixie Flyer
