Strange Dark Night - Those Poor Bastards

The train went off the track

The night she took me back

And I cried God have mercy

But God He was gone

I heard the brakes a squeal

I felt the crush of steel

And I cried God have mercy

But God He was gone

Oh what a night oh what a night

What a strange dark night

Boots upon my back

My spine just up and snapped

And I cried God have mercy

But God He was gone

And there my life did end

Alone without a friend

And I cried God have mercy

But God he was gone

Oh what a night oh what a night

What a strange dark night

Oh what a night oh what a night

What a strange dark night
