Hank Snow - The Texas Silver Zephyr слова песни
She was a young and pretty Coleman county farm girlNever been more than fifty miles from homeI was just a drifter I was living off the landSpent the summer on her daddy`s farmIn the evening we`d walk along the railroadWe`d hear that lonesome whistle in the nightAnd she`d pretend we road the rails to DenverCause` her head was full of flashin` neon lightsTwas` that big old shiny diesel as it rounded Carter`s bendWas enough to make a young girl want to roamShe`d pretend she rode those shiny rails all around the worldAnd had the Texas Silver Zephyr bring her homeAs summer work was over and restless got to meI kept talkin` `bout the places I would goThen her young head got to spinnin` for the things she`d never seenSo she followed me to Denver in the fallThen jobs got scarce in central ColoradoAnd then the winter nights got awful coldJust one old army blanket was the only one we hadNo money for the oil to run the stoveYes that big old shiny diesel as it rounded Carter`s bendWas enough to make a young girl want to roamBut through all those hungry nights the only promise that I madeI had the Texas Silver Zephyr take her homeWhen she started feelin` bad she didn`t tell meShe had a way of keepin` problems all her ownSo I didn`t know her troubles with the babyBefore I could get a doctor she was goneLord I know it`s not the way she really wanted things to beIn her dreams she had a pullman all her ownBut she`d be proud of me to know I kept my promiseAnd had the Texas Silver Zephyr take her homeAnd had the Texas Silver Zephyr take her home
