Railroad Lullaby

Do you remember when I told you
That I had a tale to tell?
Let me regale you, child
About a life spent on the rail

Forget me not, don't forget it
Forget me not, don't forget it
Forget me not, don't forget it
'Cause I’ll be gone in a minute

And whenever the drugstore man
Used to come around
I'd bite my lip
And then I’d take myself to town

Forget me not, don't forget it
'Cause I’ll be gone in a minute
Forget me not, don't forget it
'Cause I’ll be gone in a minute
Forget me not, don't forget it
'Cause I’ll be gone in a minute
Forget me not, don't forget it
Don't call me no more, no more

Nobody ever needs you
When you're this far gone
This far gone
Nobody ever needs you
When you're this far gone

Now you say the train's a coming
But I don't see it on the track
Last train's eleven
And it ain't coming back

Forget me not, don't forget it
'Cause I’ll be gone in a minute
Forget me not, don't forget it
'Cause I’ll be gone in a minute
Forget me not, don't forget it
'Cause I’ll be gone in a minute
'Cause I’ll be gone in a minute
I’ll be gone in a minute
Don't call me no more, no more

‘Cause nobody ever needs you
When you're gone
When you're gone
When you're gone
When you're this far gone
