Golden Rocket Lyrics - Singles - Hank Snow

From ol' Montana down to Alabama 

I've been before and I'll travel again 

You triflin' women can't keep a good man down 

You dealt the cards but you missed the play 

So hit the road and be on your way 

Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town 

I was a good engine a runnin' on time 

But baby I'm switchin' to another line 

So honey never hang your signal out for me 

I'm tired of runnin' on the same ol' track 

Bought a one way ticket and I won't be back 

This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away 

Hear that lonesome whistle blow 

Well, that's your cue and by now you know 

That I got another true love waitin' in Tennessee 

This midnight special is burnin' the rail 

So woman don't try to follow my trail 

This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away 

Hear her thunder on through the night 

That Golden Rocket is a doin' me right 

And that sunny ol' southland sure is a part of me 

Now from your call board erase my name 

Your fire went out, you done lost your flames 

And this Golden Rocket is a rollin' my blues away 

That old conductor he seemed to know 

You done me wrong, I was feelin' low 

For he yelled aloud, "We're over that Dixon Line" 

The brakeman started singin' a song 

Said, "You're worried now but it won't be long 

This Golden Rocket is leavin' your blues behind" 

Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl 

"Let's rise and shine, good mornin' y'all" 

And I sprang to my feet to greet the new born day 

When I kissed my baby in the station door 

That whistle blew like it never before 

Of the Golden Rocket that rolled my blues away
