Danville Girl Woody Guthrie

[Verse 1]
Well I walked down to the railroad yard
To watch that train roll by
I knew that train would roll that day
But I did not know what time
I did not know what time, poor boy
I did not know what time
I knew the trains would roll that day
But I did not know what time

[Verse 2]
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 and two forty four
Twenty five minutes ‘til five
Thank you, mister railroad man
I wanna watch your trains roll by

[Verse 3]
Standing on a platform
Smoking a big cigar
Waiting for some old freight train
That carries an empty car
I rode her down to Danville town
Got stuck on a Danville girl
You 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
The very next train come down that track
I bid that gal adieu
