about

It's lonesome...

lyrics

Hey, Hey Jimmie Rodgers. 11/2011

Hey, Hey Jimmie Rodgers,
I wrote you a song.
About how the Railroad is coming along.
I know why it’s lonesome just
Like you said.
They’ll work you till your tired and feel like your dead.

Here’s to John Henry and Casey Jones too.
I know the real story of what they did to you.
And how your wife went to her grave,
Defending’ her husband from the story the IC railroad made.

And hey Bob Dylan,
This one is for you too.
About the question you asked and that wind too.
That carried the seed that y’all sowed.
There’s a better day a commin!
I think Y’all knowed.
