Song title: Eric Andersen - Dusty Boxcar Wall

Edit By: 216.73.217.2

(Chorus)
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
(Verse 1)
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
(Chorus)
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
(Verse 2)
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
(Chorus)
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
(Instrumental)
(Verse 3)
Oh when I die and go to heaven
That’ll be the last train ride I’ll ever see
They’ll put a silver spike upon my gravestone
And my casket beneath a weeping willow tree
(Chorus)
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
