I Sat and Cried

Two minutes and thirty eight seconds
That's all I need
To tell you people of my misery

Baby is gone and left me flat
Caught that train and just like that

I sat and cried
I sat and cried
(He sat and cried)
(He sat and cried)

Then the sunset flashed across the window pane
Against the rail, of baby's goodbye train
Shown on the passing track close by
Where I was sitting there screaming on the greasy tile

I sat and cried
I sat and cried
(He sat and cried)
(He sat and cried)

Down by the tracks in the jungle's glade
Cool green grass and the tree shade
I shill a ride and slowly drag home
Cause I look like a Beatnik's bones

I sat and cried
I sat and cried
(He sat and cried)
(He sat and cried)

Upon everything I had, now I'm flat broke
Used to be a big shot. Hey! what a joke
Help me, help me if you can
I look like a monkey man
My eyes are red, feel like I'm gonna choke
Looking down the track watching my baby smoke

I sat and cried
I sat and cried
(He sat and cried)
(He sat and cried)

Fast horses and women out all night long
She and I both knew, that I was dead wrong
I hung my head, I could still hear her say
"I'll be gone somehow someday"

I sat and cried
I sat and cried
(He sat and cried)
(He sat and cried)

Then an eastbound stock train hung the rails
She was doin' the switch to clear the mail
The stock rolled in and off the main
Then left the live wire open for baby's train
As it heaved and sighed off the track
She was working up steam something I didn't like
And then she screamed once at the whistle post
And then shot by me like a fighting ghost

Thought she was coming back
Oh she was coming back
(He had a funny thought)
(He had a funny thought)
