Jimmy Dean - Big Railroad Man слова песни
The birthday party was over toys were scattered here and thereSeven candles lay by the last piece of cake in front of an empty chairA mother said son I know you`re disappointed but please try to understandYour daddy`s been awfuly busy because you see he`s a very big railroad manSo you go on to sleep now she kissed him turned out the lightBut moments later a window opened and this little boy slipped out into the nightHe was on his way to the depot the express wasn`t due till tenBut who knows it might run a special if daddy`s comin` inThat mighty scream of the 9:15 wripped through the winter nightAnd the whirl of the wheels and the clang of the steelSeemed that jarred the country sideIt was a southbound freight and it was runnin` late tryin` hard to make up timeWhen a great big man with a sack in his hand bound off that train like a lionHe hit the road like an old pro then he got up off the groundBrushed the snow from off his grimy clothesAnd he said hey kid what`s the name of this townThe frightened boy said Grandville sir and the man said well what do you knowI used to live in this little ol` one horse town bout six or seven years agoI told my wife when I left here that I was coming back in styleHa oh well anyway I`m back I guess I might as well visit for awhileSo if you`ll be so kind as to point the way to the JonesesWell I`ll go now and leave you beAnd the young boy said the only Joneses that live around here sirIs my mama and my daddy and meOf course dad`s been gone for a long time nowCourse now he don`t want to be ye understandIt`s just that my daddy`s got lotta important things to doYou see sir he`s a very big railroad manOh he sends me birthday presents and mama reads me what he writesIn his last letter daddy promised that he was gonna try and make it home tonightThe man scratched the side of his head and saidGrandville Grandville I thought you said DenvilleOh well it`s a kida natural mistakeNow if you`ll just point the way to the depotI`m gonna be checkin` in on the fast freightI`ll tell you what you do oh boy you run on home nowYou tell your mom to go ahead and fix up your daddy`s roomCause I`ve got the strangest feelingThat your dad just might become home pretty soon
