Pretty Little Girl From Galax

Well I've been saving nickels
 And lookin' for dimes
 Cleanin' out my pockets for all the money I can find
 My days are filled with sadness
 And every night I pine
 For my sweetheart's in Virginia
 And I'm in 'Caroline
 Hey mister won't you take me
 Farther on down the tracks
 I've got to find a way, can't wait another day
 To see my pretty little girl from Galax
 I jumped an open freight car
 Thought that would be alright
 'Till the brakeman caught me sleepin' in the middle of the night
 So I've been out here walkin' with my thumb up in the air
 Checkin' passin' cars for someone to get me there
 Hey mister won't you take me
 Farther on down the tracks
 I've got to find a way, can't wait another day
 To see my pretty little girl from Galax
 Now she can play the fiddle
 Best you've ever heard
 And when she sings a sad song
 I hang on every word
 Been so long since I've seen her in that little mountain town
 I just need someone to pick me up
 And lay that hammer down
 Hey mister won't you take me
 Farther on down the tracks
 I've got to find a way, can't wait another day
 To see my pretty little girl from Galax
 Mister won't you take me
 Farther on down the tracks
 I've got to find a way, can't wait another day
 To see my pretty little girl from Galax
