Danville Girl, No. 2

Lyrics

I went down to the railroad yard, watch that train come by,
 Knew the train would roll that day, but I did not know what time.
 I did not know what time, boys, did not know what time.
 Knew the train would roll that day but I did not know what time.
 Good morning Mister Railroad Man, what time does your train roll by?
 Nine-sixteen and two-forty-four, twenty-five minutes 'til five.
 At nine-sixteen, two-forty-four, twenty-five minutes 'til five.
 Thank you Mister Railroad Man, I wanna watch your train roll by.
 Standing on the platform, smoking a big cigar,
 Waitin' for some old freight train that carries an empty car.
 I rode her down to Danville Town, got stuck on a Danville girl,
 Bet your life she was a pearl, she wore that Danville curl.
 She wore her hat on the back of her head like high-tone people all do,
 Very next train come down taht track, I bid that girl adieu.
 I bid that girl adieu, poor boys, I bid that girl adieu,
 The very next train come down that track, I bid that girl adieu.
