The Gambler

"good morning mister railroad man.
 what time do your trains roll by?"
 "at nine-sixteen and two-forty-four
 and twenty five minutes till five."
 "it's nine-sixteen and two-forty-four,
 twenty-five minutes till five,
 thank you mr. railroad man,
 i want to watch your trains roll by."
 Standing on a platform,
 smoking a cheap cigar
 waiting for an old freight-train
 that carries an empty car.
 Well, i pulled my hat down over my eyes,
 and i walked across the track,
 and i caught me the end of an old freight-train,
 and i never did come back.
 I sat down in a gamblin' game,
 and i could not play my hand,
 just thinkin' about that woman that i love
 run away with another man.
 Run away with another man, poor boy
 run away with another man,
 i was thinking about that woman that i love,
 run away with another man.
