(Dan Penn - Spooner Oldham)      Down at the railroad station   My suitcase settin' by my side   Got no high hopes of leaving   I'm just watching the trains go by   Watching the trains go by.      Lawyer Jabob's wife she is expecting and he wonders why in blazes   How his wife could come to blame now they tried so many times before   Walking back down this dusty farmroad my thirsty mind is high and dry   One more day down at the station watching the trains go by.      Down at the railroad station   My suitcase settin' by my side   Got no high hopes of leaving   I'm just watching the trains go by   Watching the trains go by.      Papa's working at the coal mines mama's lying sick in bed   They'd be better off without me one less mouth to be fed   Younger brother John is in the jailhouse down on the woodfarm chopping wood   I stayed around and tried to change him don't look like I done no good.      Down at the railroad station   My suitcase settin' by my side   Got no high hopes of leaving   I'm just watching the trains go by   Watching the trains go by.      Down at the railroad station   My suitcase settin' by my side   Got no high hopes of leaving   I'm just watching the trains go by   Watching the trains go by...
