Steel Rail Blues (钢轨布鲁斯) - Gordon Lightfoot Written by:Gordon Ligh Well I got my mail late last night A letter from a girl who found the time To write
To her lonesome boy somewheres in the Night
She sent me a railroad ticket too To take me to her loving arms And the big steel rail gonna carry me Home to the one I love
Well I bin out here many long days I haven't found a place that I could call My own
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
I bin stood up I bin shook down I bin dragged into the sand And the big steel rail gonna carry me Home to the one I love
Ooooh oooo oo whu hu hoo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo
Well I bin up tight most every night Walking along the streets of this old town
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to My good old car she done broke down Cause I drove it into the ground And the big steel rail gonna carry me Home to the one I love
Well I look over yonder across the plain The big drive wheels are pounding along The ground
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward Bound
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal And lord I need one now And the big steel rail gonna carry me Home to the one I love
Ooooh oooo oo whu hu hoo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo
Now here I am with my hat in hand Standing on the broad highway will you Give a ride To a lonesome boy who missed the train Last night
I went in town for one last round And I gambled my ticket away And the big steel rail won't carry me Home to the one I love
