Watching The Trains Go By Lyrics - Bobby Bare

Down at the railroad station my suitcase settin' by my side 

Got no high hopes of leaving I'm just watching the trains go by 

Watching the trains go by 

Lawyer Jabob's wife she is expecting and he wonders why in blazes 

How his wife could come to blame now they tried so many times before 

Walking back down this dusty farmroad my thirsty mind is high and dry 

One more day down at the station watching the trains go by 

Down at the railroad station 

Papa's working at the coal mines mama's lying sick in bed 

They'd be better off without me one less mouth to be fed 

Younger brother John is in the jailhouse down on the woodfarm chopping wood 

I stayed around and tried to change him don't look like I done no good 

Down at the railroad station 

Down at the railroad station
