dusty box car wall

Chorus:
Iâm going away my baby,
Iâm gonna leave you pretty gal
For a train passed by while you lay sleeping
Iâll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
I once had a love in old Kentucky
I once had a love in sunny Tennessee
But a New York gal brought me pain and sadness
Now Iâm here as lonely as I can be
Chorus
City women bring you grief and sorrow
Country girls are as sweet as they can be
City women are as cold as they are shallow
But a country girlâs love is as deep as the deep blue sea
Chorus
Oh when I die and go to heaven
Thatâll be tha last train ride Iâll ever see
Theyâll put a silver spike upon my gravestone
And my casket beneath a weeping willow tree
