Danville Girl

I went down to the railroad yard watch that train come by

Knew the train would roll that day but I did not know what time

I did not know what time boys did not know what time

Knew the train would roll that day but I did not know what time

Good morning Mister Railroad Man what time does your train roll by

Nine-sixteen and two-forty-four twenty-five minutes 'til five

At nine-sixteen two-forty-four twenty-five minutes 'til five

Thank you Mister Railroad Man I want to watch your train roll by

Standing on the platform smoking a big cigar

Waitin' for some old freight train that carries an empty car

I rode her down to Danville Town got stuck on a Danville girl

Bet your life she was a pearl she wore that Danville curl

She wore her hat on the back of her head like high-tone people all do

Very next train come down that track I bid that girl adieu

I bid that girl adieu poor boys I bid that girl adieu

The very next train come down that track I bid that girl adieu
