Gov't Mule - Railroad Boy Lyrics
She went upstairs to make her bed
And not a word to her mother said
Her mother, she went upstairs too, said daughter, oh daughter, what's troubling you?
Oh mother, I cannot tell that railroad boy that I love so well
There's a place in London town where the railroad boy goes and sits down
Takes a strange girl on his knee, says things to her he won't say to me
Her father, he came home from work, said where's my daughter, what's troubling her
He went upstairs to give her hope, found her hanging by a rope
He took his knife, cut her down, and on her bosom these words were found
Oh dig my grave both wide and deep, place a marble stone at my head and feet
To tell the world I died of love
Tell the world that I died for love
Wont you tell the world that I died for love

Awesome song , Super, Love this song
She went upstairs to make her bed
And not a word to her mother said
Her mother, she went upstairs too, said daughter, oh daughter, what’s troubling you?
Oh mother, I cannot tell that railroad boy that I love so well
He courted me, my life away, and now at home will no longer stay
There’s a place in London town where the railroad boy goes and sits down
Takes a strange girl on his knee, says things to her he won’t say to me
Her father, he came home from work, said where’s my daughter, what’s troubling her
He went upstairs to give her hope, found her hanging by a rope
He took his knife, cut her down, and on her bosom these words were found
Oh dig my grave both wide and deep, place a marble stone at my head and feet
And on my breast place a white snow dove, won’t you tell the world that I died for love
To tell the world I died of love
Tell the world that I died for love
Won't you tell the world that I died for love
I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Early in the morning
About the break of day
I fall down on my knees
I fall down and I pray
I think about my woman
My woman who's long gone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Later in the evening
I watch the sun go down
I think about my woman
But my woman Lord she ain't around
My heart is filled with sadness
And my eyes are filled with tears
I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Not one part of this was in this song. I don't get it?
Absolutely love this song!
Nice job...
Although i have been aware of these guys for a long time, this is the first thing i have heard. Such an incredibly cool song! Just so, so good! Btw, i heard it on Planet Rock Radio last weekend, and it certainly got my attention. I will now dig deeper. Love it... \m/ (:o)
+klistarf Planet Rock have cost me a fortune over the years by playing awesome tunes like this and introducing me to some fantastic bands. Von Hertzen Bros, Sons of Texas and these of course to name a few. Keep rocking!!
@Warren Morris I feel your pain! Lol! Still, i love finding new stuff, and Planet Rock are good at throwing new, undiscovered stuff at me, from time to time. Long may it continue. I love it! Regards... \m/ (:o)
Great Video!!!! Please check out my channel and don't forget to subscribe. Thanks
