Southern Dixie Flyer - Marty Robbins (马丁·罗宾逊)
At the station house one day

Was a lady old and gray

I could tell her heart was feeling sad and low

With a teardrop in her eye

She was trying not to cry

I determined then her story I would know

I ventured a word

Then a sad sad tale I heard

Of a mother who had lost her only child

Yes they've taken her away

These words I heard her say

And they're travelling on that Southern Dixie Flyer

She was only sweet sixteen

And the only joy I've seen

What God has given now he takes away

She'll be taken home again

On that southbound railroad train

To be laid there with her daddy in the grave

I've no money of my own

I can't even take her home

But I want to be there with my heart's desire

But then she could say no more

As the echo drifted o'er

Was the whistle of that Southern Dixie Flyer

As the train pulled out of sight

And the day became as night

Was a scene to bring a tear to any eye

Just a lady all alone

Not a thing to call her own

But some memories from a better day gone by

I knew right away

There was nothing I could say

To soothe her heart

Or dry those tear dimmed eyes

So I turned to walk away

From the lady old and gray

Whose heart was on that Southern Dixie Flyer

I've no money of my own

I can't even take her home

But I want to be there with my heart's desire

But then she could say no more

As the echo drifted o'er

Was the whistle of that Southern Dixie Flyer
