Marbletown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Roll out here, mister
If you need a little rest
Roll out here, mister
If you need a little rest
Lay me down in Marbletown
A boneyard is the best

[Verse 2]
There was a bad bull on the railroad
Tried to put me off his train
There was a bad bull on the railroad
Tried to put me off his train
Lay me down in Marbletown
'Til the coast is clear again

[Chorus]
I can hear them a-hollerin'
"We got a man down, here
We got a man down
We got a man down, here
We got a man down"

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna flip me a cannonball
That won't stop for anyone
Flip me a cannonball
That won't stop for anyone
Lay me down in Marbletown
Wait 'til morning come

[Verse 4]
I'm gonna roll out here in the tombstone
Wait here on my train
Roll out here in the tombstone
Wait here on my train
Lay me down in Marbletown
I hope that it don't rain

[Chorus]
And I can still hear them hollerin'
"We got a man down, here
We got a man down
We got a man down, here
We got a man down"

[Verse 5]
Roll out here, mister
If you need a little rest
Roll out here, mister
If you need a little rest
Lay me down in Marbletown
A boneyard is the best
