Railroad Head -

Another mountain becones

One more stop to go

I am coming home at last

To the girl that I love so

I hope she’ll be there waiting

At the railroad head

Near the place we parted

When I left her bed

The train that took me westward

And another life to find

Now brings me homeward bound at last

To the love I left behind

I hope she’ll be there waiting

At the railroad head

Or has she gone and changed her mind

And found another bed.

I think of her each morning

To start another day

She’s always there upon my mind

She’s never far away

The time has passed forever

I’ve been away these years

I’ve many scars upon my mind

That ended up in tears

I’ve travelled wide and seen the world

A troubled place to be

A simple life is all I want

Her shadow close to me

I wonder if she’ll be there

At the railroad head

It was here we parted

When I left her bed

The train draws in the station

It’s just a lonely place

As the steam was lifting

I saw a lonely face

Many years have passed since then

We’ve built a love to last

The bad times when we first met

Are way back in the past

Solo

We have all the memories now

A life that’s rich with fun

Together now forever more

Two lives rolled into one

Found my roots and found my love

No urge to travel far

Settled down outside of town

No more a roving star

In those years of troubled times

Her memories saw me through

I’ve got a job and built our lives

It was the least that I could do

The girl I left behind me

Was at the railroad head

Standing there with open arms

A welcome to her bed
