Текст Woody Guthrie – Danville Girl

I went down to the railroad yard, watch the train come by
Knew that train would roll that day but I did not know what time

I did not know what time, boys, did not know what time
Knew the train would roll that day but I did not know what time

Nine sixteen and two forty four, twenty five minutes till five
At nine sixteen, two forty four, twenty five minutes till five
Thank you, Mister railroad man, I wanna watch your train roll by

Standing on the platform, smoking a big cigar
Waitin’ for some old freight train that carries an empty car

I rode her down to Danville town, got stuck on a Danville girl
Bet your life she was a pearl, she wore that Danville curl

She wore her hat on the back of her head like high tone people all do
Very next train come down that track, I bid that gal adieu

I bid that gal adieu, poor boys, I bid that gal adieu
The very next train come down that track, I bid that gal adieu
